description: '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.
