Overview
Version 0.1.5 of the `llm-duckduckgo-chat` plugin introduces several enhancements and bug fixes aimed at improving the functionality and reliability of interactions with the DuckDuckGo AI Chat service.

Key Changes

Model Name Correction
- **Updated Model Name**: The model name for "Mixtral Small 3" has been corrected to "Mistral Small 3" in the README documentation to ensure consistency and accuracy.

New Features
