🚀 New in smolagents v1.20.0: Remote Python Execution via WebAssembly (Wasm)

We've just merged a major new capability into the smolagents framework: the CodeAgent can now execute Python code remotely in a secure, sandboxed WebAssembly environment!

🔧 Powered by Pyodide and Deno, this new WasmExecutor lets your agent-generated Python code run safely: without relying on Docker or local execution.

Why this matters:
✅ Isolated execution = no host access
✅ No need for Python on the user's machine
✅ Safer evaluation of arbitrary code
✅ Compatible with serverless / edge agent workloads
✅ Ideal for constrained or untrusted environments

This is just the beginning: a focused initial implementation with known limitations. A solid MVP designed for secure, sandboxed use cases. 💡

💡 We're inviting the open-source community to help evolve this executor:
• Tackle more advanced Python features
• Expand compatibility
• Add test coverage
• Shape the next-gen secure agent runtime

🔗 Check out the PR: https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/1261

Let's reimagine what agent-driven Python execution can look like: remote-first, wasm-secure, and community-built.

This feature is live in smolagents v1.20.0!
Try it out.
Break things. Extend it. Give us feedback.
Let's build safer, smarter agents; together 🧠⚙️

Because hackathons are often the starting point for many AI projects, I've created a Python-backend template incorporating my feedback to streamline collaboration and urgent deployments 🏎️

Within a year, I had the opportunity to participate in hackathons organized by Mistral, OpenAI, and DeepMind and this GitHub template is structured around several fundamental building blocks and recommendations I offer developers eager to participate in their first hackathon, whether as part of a team or individually. Its emphasis is on rapid setup and deployment through:
- uv as a package manager, simplifying usage via a series of pre-configured make commands.
- FastAPI for API management, structured in a modular architecture designed to minimize branch conflicts during merges to main branches (using minimal health-check and ping routes to verify Docker’s proper execution and backend accessibility on the local network).
- Pydantic for validation and type handling, which simplifies debugging and enhances understanding of data objects.
- A set of custom instructions tailored for agents (Cline and GitHub Copilot), aimed at improving overall comprehension of the application and optimizing the vibe-coding experience.

This template includes unit tests with a 100% success rate and test coverage, as well as a minimal CI file ensuring that the FastAPI application runs correctly. Thus, merging code that breaks the server into production becomes impossible ⛔️

In general, I would reiterate an essential piece of advice: your two main adversaries are branch conflicts—particularly when the same file is modified concurrently within a brief period, especially if your architecture isn’t built for scalability—and deployment issues under urgent circumstances ⏱️

Simply issue these commands and you can ship your code at the speed of light:

make dev

🌐 Clinical Trials Dataset now available on Hugging Face! 🧬

I’ve just released a comprehensive, ML-ready dataset featuring 500,000+ clinical trial records sourced directly from ClinicalTrials.gov for biomedical NLP, healthcare analytics, and clinical research applications 🤗

I wanted to produce the most complete and up-to-date dump with all raw data partially flattened to simplify extraction, self-querying and processing.

Do you have any ideas about what we can do with it? Using descriptions to enhance specialized embedding models?

Inspired by Hugging Face's official MCP server, I've developed a complementary tool that exposes my semantic search API to enhance discovery across the HF platform.

Key capabilities:

- AI-powered semantic search for models and datasets
- Parameter count analysis via safetensors metadata
- Trending content discovery
- Find similar models/datasets functionality
- 11 tools total for enhanced ecosystem navigation

The semantic search goes beyond simple keyword matching, understanding context and relationships between different models and datasets.

Example query: "Find around 10 reasoning Hugging Face datasets published in 2025 focusing on topics other than maths and science. Show a link and a short summary for each dataset." (results in video!)
