     ### 🔧 Configuration Notes:
-    - **LLM Provider**: Using {provider} (based on available API keys)
+    - **LLM Provider**: Using Groq (optimized for performance and rate limits)
     - **Tools Available**: Math operations, AI reasoning
     - **Search Tools**: Available when API keys are configured
-    
+
     ### 🔑 API Keys Required:
     Add these to Space settings for full functionality:
-    - `GOOGLE_API_KEY` or `GROQ_API_KEY` (for AI responses)
+    - `GROQ_API_KEY` (for AI responses - recommended)
     - `TAVILY_API_KEY` (for web search)
-    
+
+    ### ⚡ Why Groq?
+    - **Higher rate limits** than Google free tier
+    - **Faster responses** with optimized inference
+    - **More reliable** for frequent testing
