Inconsistent Console Verbosity Between Windows and macOS When verbose=true

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed an inconsistency in the console output verbosity when using agents and crews with the verbose=trueparameter. Specifically, when running the same code on Windows and macOS, the Windows console produces significantly more verbose output compared to macOS.
To illustrate the difference, I’ve attached an image comparing the outputs from both systems side by side.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is it an intentional behavior or a potential bug?

Thanks!

Simone, I don’t personally use Mac or Windows, so just to double-check: are you running the exact same version of CrewAI on both systems?

For some strange reason running

pip install -r requirements.txt

With just crewai written in requirements.txt without specifying a version, it installs an old version on MacOS.

how are you building the crew to begin with? using YAML scaffolding or just one script for all?

also, you might just need to specify the version in your requirements file.
