Key features of Smolagents include the ability for agents to write and execute code, which allows for error recovery and code rewriting, potentially reducing API calls by up to 30%. The library has garnered attention for its clear and concise framework, with experts noting that AI agents will be a prominent theme in 2025.
Everybody seems to agree Agents will be a big AI theme in 2025. Nobody seems to agree what an Agent means. Enter smolagents, a refreshingly clear, simple and concise framework to build your own AI agents. People seem to agree it's useful! 📈 https://t.co/cIdns0orrX
Also while we are on the subject of AI agents, might I take a second to agree with @simonw’s take on how frustrating the use of this term can be. The following is taken from his excellent 2024 AI wrap uparticle: Things we learned about LLMs in 2024. Linked below. https://t.co/jYwh9QUEMe
Everyone seems to have a different definition of what an AI agent is but I loved this breakdown of the term by @AymericRoucher, @Thom_Wolf and @mervenoyann. It's taken from their article on smolagents, which is worth a read (linked below). https://t.co/woC3D2dSSY
