First I thought we were using llama - 3.3-70b-Instruct as I had to request for the model. Then I saw that hugging face uses quen model as default.

I think it depends on the version of smolagents you are using, but if we do not specify anything, the model specified in the library source code will be used by default.

If you specify a model, the specified model will be used.

Yeah, but why did we request to llama - 3.3-70b-Instruct if we already had qwen as default?

I raised an issue for now.
