What Smolagents HF does
Smolagents is an open-source Python library from Hugging Face that the page describes as making it extremely easy to build and run agents in just a few lines of code. Named agent types are CodeAgent, which writes its actions as code, and ToolCallingAgent, which supports JSON and text-based tool calling. Agents and tools can be shared to and loaded from the Hub as Gradio Spaces. The library works with Hugging Face Inference Providers, OpenAI and Anthropic through LiteLLM, and local Transformers or Ollama models. Agents can handle vision, video, and audio inputs. Tools can come from any MCP server, LangChain, or Hugging Face Spaces. It includes the smolagent and webagent command-line tools. The page does not state pricing.
