What is Smolagents?

Smolagents is a minimalist AI agent framework developed by the Hugging Face team designed to enable developers to create powerful AI agents with minimal code. It focuses on leveraging large language models (LLMs) to interact with the real world by executing Python code snippets, rather than generating actions as JSON or text. This approach enhances efficiency and accuracy, reducing the number of steps and LLM calls needed. Smolagents supports secure code execution in sandboxed environments and integrates seamlessly with various LLMs, including those hosted on the Hugging Face Hub, OpenAI, and Anthropic. Its compact codebase and user-friendly design make it suitable for developers looking to build robust, flexible AI agents quickly. The framework also supports traditional tool-calling agents and encourages community collaboration through deep integration with the Hugging Face Hub.
