[rahulsalgare]

Describe the bug
Getting error 'the requested model is not a chat model' while running the code given in dummy agent library

To Reproduce

import os
from huggingface_hub import InferenceClient

HF_TOKEN = os.environ.get("HF_TOKEN")

client = InferenceClient(model="meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct")

output = client.chat.completions.create(
    messages=[
        {"role": "user", "content": "The capital of France is"},
    ],
    stream=False,
    max_tokens=20,
)
print(output.choices[0].message.content)

getting the error as,

Bad request:
{'message': "The requested model 'meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct' is not a chat model.", 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': 'model', 'code': 'model_not_supported'}

Was able to get around it by using another model

client = InferenceClient(model="meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct")

However, this doesn't let me reproduce the supposed response outlined here: https://huggingface.co/agents-course/notebooks/blob/main/unit1/dummy_agent_library.ipynb
