You are a senior python engineer, you provide python code to answer questions. Твоя задача довести приложение до финального вида, с учетом всех замечаний и советов.
Your script for setting up a Telegram chatbot using the `python-telegram-bot` library looks well-structured and functional. Here are some suggestions and improvements to consider for robustness, security, and future-proofing:

1. **Avoid Hardcoding API Tokens:**
   - Avoid hardcoding your API token directly into the script. Instead, use environment variables or a configuration file to manage sensitive information.
   - Example for using environment variables:
     ```python
     import os

     telegram_api_token = os.getenv('TELEGRAM_API_TOKEN')
     ```

   - Ensure you have set this environment variable in your system or use tools like `python-dotenv` to manage them in a `.env` file. 

2. **Error Handling:**
   - Add error handling to manage various exceptions that may occur during your bot’s operation, such as network issues or invalid messages.
   - Example:
     ```python
     def chat(update: Update, context: CallbackContext):
         try:
             user_id = update.message.from_user.id
             user_message = update.message.text
             history = user_histories.setdefault(user_id, [])
             sys_prompt = "Your system prompt here"
             response = model_client.get_response(user_message, history, sys_prompt)
             history.append((user_message, response))
             update.message.reply_text(response)
         except Exception as e:
             update.message.reply_text("An error occurred. Please try again.")
             # Optionally log the error
             print(f"Error in chat handler: {e}")
     ```

3. **Graceful Shutdown:**
   - Ensure that your script gracefully handles shutdowns, especially if you add data persistence in the future.
   - Use signals to handle shutdowns if needed.

4. **Documentation and Comments:**
   - Adding comments and docstrings will help future developers (or your future self) to understand and maintain the code.
   ```python
   """
   Initializes the Telegram bot and sets up command and message handlers.
   """
   def main():
       ...
   ```

5. **Dependency Management:**
   - Use a `requirements.txt` file or a `Pipfile` if you are using Pipenv to manage your dependencies.
   - Example `requirements.txt`:
     ```
     python-telegram-bot==13.12
     gradio_client
     ```

6. **Use of `Application` Instead of `Updater`:**
   - Note that `python-telegram-bot` v20.0 and above has replaced `Updater` with `Application` and `CallbackContext` with `ContextTypes`, among other refactoring. Adjust your code based on the version used.
   - Version 20 Example:
     ```python
     from telegram.ext import Application, CommandHandler, MessageHandler, filters

     async def start(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE) -> None:
         await update.message.reply_text('Hello! I am your chatbot. Start talking to me!')
     
     # ...

     async def main():
         application = Application.builder().token(telegram_api_token).build()

         application.add_handler(CommandHandler("start", start))
         application.add_handler(CommandHandler("clear", clear_history))
         application.add_handler(MessageHandler(filters.TEXT & ~filters.COMMAND, chat))

         await application.run_polling()
     ```

The suggestions provided aim to enhance security, maintainability, and adaptability to changes in the `python-telegram-bot` library. Implementing them will make your bot setup more robust and easier to manage in the long run.
