New in smolagents v1.16.0: 🔍 Bing support in WebSearchTool 🐍 Custom functions & executor_kwargs in LocalPythonExecutor 🔧 Streaming GradioUI fixes 🌐 Local web agents via api_base & api_key 📚 Better docs
Ever notice how some AI assistants feel like tools while others feel like companions? Turns out, it's not always about fancy tech upgrades, because sometimes it's just clever design.
Our latest blog post at Hugging Face dives into how minimal design choices can completely transform how users experience AI. We've seen our community turn the same base models into everything from swimming coaches to interview prep specialists with surprisingly small tweaks.
The most fascinating part? When we tested identical models with different "personalities" in our Inference Playground, the results were mind-blowing.
Want to experiment yourself? Our Inference Playground lets anyone (yes, even non-coders!) test these differences in real-time. You can:
- Compare multiple models side-by-side - Customize system prompts - Adjust parameters like temperature - Test multi-turn conversations
It's fascinating how a few lines of instruction text can transform the same AI from strictly professional to seemingly caring and personal, without changing a single line of code in the model itself.
