Full Release Notes

## What's Changed

**Big features:**
* Add an OpenAIServerModel by @Zetaphor in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/109
    - This unlocks using any OpenAI-format-compatible server like TGI or vLLM.
* Enable `smolagent` tools in [Hugging Chat](https://huggingface.co/chat/)! 🚀 in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/132
    - Demo incoming!
* Vastly simplify Model class ✨ in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/146
    - Now `Model` subclasses have only one `__call__` method: if arg `tools_to_call_from` is passed, this method will return a tool call instead of just a string.
* Halve import time by removing torch dependency in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/147
    - Following up on https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/issues/100 raised by @xianminx, removing dependency on `torch` allowed to halve the library loading time!
* Support OpenTelemetry in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/136
     - This is still cooking, more stuff needs to be done, but we'll have observability!
