Smolagents
AI Agents & Automation
Overview
Smolagents is a minimal, code-centric agent framework from Hugging Face whose CodeAgent generates executable Python actions and supports local, Ollama, LiteLLM, and sandboxed execution through E2B, Modal, or Docker. It provides a lightweight approach to building AI agents that can write and execute code to accomplish tasks, with support for various model providers and execution environments. The framework prioritizes simplicity and code-as-action over complex tool-calling abstractions.
