Error when using Hugginface Inference API with Phidata tools

[nagendragillalu]

I am trying to execute a demo example using Hugging face Inference API using phidata tools
though I change to any model I get following error

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'id'

This is my sample agent

from phi.agent import Agent
from phi.model.huggingface import HuggingFaceChat
from phi.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGo
import os 

web_agent = Agent(
    name="Web Agent",
    model=HuggingFaceChat(
        id="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct",
        max_tokens=4096,
    ),
    tools=[DuckDuckGo()],
    instructions=["Always include sources"],
    show_tool_calls=True,
    markdown=True,
)
web_agent.print_response("Whats happening in France?", stream=True)

Hello @nagendragillalu I was able to replicate this issue with HuggingFaceChat. Our HuggingFaceChat model class requires an update and I am on it. Sharing updates soon!

@ysolanky : any timeline when this will be fixed ?
