  smolagents is an open-source Python library developed by Hugging Face that enables developers
  to build and run powerful AI agents with minimal code. The library provides two primary agent
  paradigms: CodeAgent, which writes actions as Python code snippets for maximum expressiveness
  and composability, and ToolCallingAgent, which uses structured JSON for reliable and safe tool
  interactions. smolagents is model-agnostic, supporting Hugging Face Inference Providers,
  local Transformers, Ollama, LiteLLM (100+ LLMs), Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, and MLX
  models. Hub integration allows teams to share and load agents and tools as Gradio Spaces, and
  multi-agent orchestration enables hierarchical systems where manager agents coordinate
  specialized sub-agents.

    description: >
      The core smolagents Python library providing CodeAgent and ToolCallingAgent classes
      for building AI agents that write Python code or structured JSON to call tools and
      orchestrate multi-agent systems. Integrates with Hugging Face Hub Inference Providers,
      LiteLLM, Transformers, Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, and local models via Ollama.
