About smolagents

Hugging Face's small agent library. Its CodeAgent writes actions as executable Python rather than JSON tool calls, with sandboxed execution options; a conventional tool-calling agent is also included. It is model-agnostic and deliberately small, favouring a readable core over a large feature surface.

smolagents is an open-source project, with 29k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in August 2026.
