Exception when trying to create Kernel Memory when using version 1.18.0-rc of Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.OpenAI

[shyam-menon]

I am trying to create a Kernel Memory that would be used within the Kernel of an Agent.
var memory = new KernelMemoryBuilder() .WithOpenAIDefaults(apiKey) .Build<MemoryServerless>();

I get the following exception when using the 1.18.0-rc version of Microsoft.SemanticKernel.Connectors.OpenAI but do not get the exception when using the 1.17.1 version.

System.TypeLoadException

@shyam-menon It's happening because Kernel Memory assembly is not updated with the latest changes from SK v1.18.0-rc, which uses Azure/OpenAI v2 SDK. Please create an issue in Kernel Memory repository: https://github.com/microsoft/kernel-memory/issues/new/choose
