Introducing smolagents: simple agents that write actions in code.

Recently, Hugging Face open-sourced a new Agent project called smolagents. Compared to other frameworks, its philosophy and implementation are relatively simple.

Developed in Python, its core design principle is "less is more." Unlike other Agent frameworks with tens of thousands of lines of code, it maintains a minimalist style, with core code consisting of only a few thousand lines while delivering comparable functionality.

The Hugging Face team aims to lower the barrier to Agent development, enabling more developers to get started quickly.
