Could we discuss the Task param output\_pydantic

From the docs:  
**Output Pydantic** _(optional)_ `output_pydantic` Outputs a Pydantic model object, requiring an OpenAI client. Only one output format can be set.

1. Outputs a Pydantic model object
2. requiring an OpenAI client
3. Only one output format can be set

All 3 points raise more questions than answers for me

This [post](https://community.crewai.com/t/use-more-info-from-pydantic-models/147/8) is probably relevant
