Query not being passed to `duckduckgo_search`

[slashtechno]

I've been testing Phidata with Ollama. Whilst the code sometimes works, trying to perform a query using the LLM often results in it calling duckduckgo_search without any arguments, causing an error.

Here's the code I'm using:

from phi.assistant import Assistant
from phi.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGo
from phi.llm.ollama import OllamaTools

model = "llama3"

assistant = Assistant(
    llm=OllamaTools(model=model),
    tools=[DuckDuckGo(search=True, news=True)],
    show_tool_calls=False,
    read_chat_history=True,
    read_tool_call_history=True,
)
assistant.cli_app(markdown=False)

Hey @slashtechno, could you please try running the following code:

from phi.assistant import Assistant
from phi.tools.duckduckgo import DuckDuckGo
from phi.llm.ollama import Ollama

model = "llama3"

assistant = Assistant(
    llm=Ollama(model=model),
    tools=[DuckDuckGo(search=True, news=True)],
    show_tool_calls=False,
    read_chat_history=True,
    read_tool_call_history=True,
)
assistant.cli_app(markdown=False)

I'm currently travelling and won't have access to my machine with Ollama for a while, sorry. Is the only change using Ollama instead of OllamaTools? If I rememeber correctly, I tried Ollama with llama3 to no avail.
