Hugging Face upgraded Transformers Agents into an independent library called smolagents and released it.
Details
Hugging Face has transitioned its existing Transformers Agents into an independent library called smolagents, releasing version 2.0.
This update sets Clarity and Modularity as its core design goals. It minimizes abstraction so that the agent's operating process can be transparently checked, and provides a structure that allows users to freely choose the LLM engine they want to build agents with.
Key features are as follows:
- Iterative problem solving: Introduction of a new agent type that can perform complex tasks by revising itself based on past observations.
- Proven performance: A Llama-3-70B-Instruct agent recorded performance surpassing GPT-4-based agents on the GAIA leaderboard.
- Community sharing: Added functionality to easily share and utilize built agents.
Since the API is very similar to the existing transformers.agents, existing users can transition to smolagents without much difficulty.
