What changed

Our Transformers Code Agent beats the GAIA benchmark πŸ… After some experiments, we were impressed by the performance of Transformers Agents to build agentic systems, so we wanted to see how good it was! We tested using a Code Agent built with the library on the GAIA benchmark, arguably the most difficult and comprehensive agent benchmark… and ended up on top! The framework transformers.agentsused in this blog post has now been upgraded to the stand-alone library smolagents!

Why it matters

A concrete addition to Practical AI: Tools, Models & Frameworks: it changes what's available to builders today rather than being general commentary.
