Build smarter, faster AI agents without the bloat
Imagine building an AI agent in less time than it takes to brew your morning coffee. That's Smolagents - Hugging Face's sleek new framework that turns complex AI agent development into a breeze. It's like having a Swiss Army knife for AI development, but without all the unnecessary tools you never use.
- Tiny but mighty: The entire core is just ~1000 lines of code. Yes, you read that right!
- Code > JSON: Write Python, not endless JSON configs
- Speed demon: 30% fewer steps and LLM calls than traditional approaches
- Play nice with others: Works with OpenAI, Anthropic, or any Hugging Face model
- Safety first: Built-in sandbox mode to keep things secure
- Share & shine: Push your tools to Hugging Face Hub with one line of code
- The developer who values elegant solutions over complex architectures
- Startups that need to move fast without breaking things
- AI enthusiasts who want to focus on building, not configuring
- Teams tired of wrestling with heavyweight frameworks
What makes Smolagents special is its code-first philosophy. Instead of forcing you to write JSON blobs or complex configurations, it lets you express agent actions in pure Python.
from smolagents import CodeAgent
agent = CodeAgent(tools=[your_tool])
# That's it. You're ready to rock!- Seamless Hugging Face Hub integration
- Growing community of tool creators
- Production-ready security features
- Minimal dependencies, maximal impact
"Finally, an agent framework that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out!" - @developer_jane
"Shipped our first AI agent in hours, not weeks. This is game-changing." - @startup_founder
Start with the basic examples and gradually explore the code agent capabilities. You'll be surprised how quickly you can build complex AI workflows with minimal code.
The roadmap includes:
- More tool templates
- Enhanced debugging capabilities
- Tighter integration with the Hugging Face ecosystem
But the core promise remains: keeping it simple, keeping it powerful.
