chore: upgrade smolagents dependency to >=1.26.0
#716
by mbilvl - opened
Description
This PR upgrades the smolagents pin in requirements.txt from the legacy 1.13.0 to >=1.26.0.
Motivation
The current 1.13.0 pin relies heavily on HfApiModel. Because HfApiModel was deprecated and later removed starting in v1.17.0, students trying to use current course material syntax locally or on modern environments hit immediate dependency blockages. Bumping this ensures compatibility with the active InferenceClientModel codebase.
Next Steps
Once this is merged, I have submitted another PR to update the class syntax in app.py to InferenceClientModel so the application runs perfectly on the new version.
