Hugging Face's minimal agent library built around CodeAgent.
smolagents is Hugging Face's Apache-2.0 agent library whose core logic is roughly 1,000 lines; its defining feature is the CodeAgent, which writes its actions as executable code rather than JSON tool calls, and it can execute them in E2B, Modal or Docker sandboxes.
