Update app.py

Fixed the yield statement: The error happens because the yield statement wasn't properly formatting the chat history as a list of tuples. I changed it to yield the correct format: yield chat_history + [[message, response]]
Proper Chatbot initialization: Added explicit initialization of the chatbot with an empty list to ensure it starts with the correct format
Fixed the clear button functionality: Now it properly resets the chatbot with an empty list instead of None
Improved error handling: Added a check to make sure tokens are not None before concatenating them to the response
Streamlined respond function: Simplified the respond function to properly manage the chat history format throughout the streaming process
