How to run agents from `smolagents` locally?

Inference Endpoints on the Hub

Is there any successful example of running CodeAgent or ToolCallingAgent entirely locally?
I couldn’t find anything in the course or in the forum. Please help!
If this is impossible, I would just like anybody from the HF’s people to assure that (for example, maybe the smolagents framework works explicitly with HF’s APIs). Thank you!

It seems ongoing issue. In short, it’s a bug.

I have been running everything locally by using either the TransfomerModel or MLXModel classes instead of the HfApiModel class.

from smolagents import CodeAgent, MLXModel

model = MLXModel(
    "mlx-community/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct-4bit",
    {
        "temperature": 0.7,
        "top_k": 20,  
        "top_p": 0.8, 
        "min_p": 0.05,
        "num_ctx": 32768,
    },
)
agent = CodeAgent(tools=[], model=model, add_base_tools=True)
agent.run(
    "Could you give me the 40th number in the Fibonacci sequence?",
)

You can also use Ollama through the LiteLLMModel if you prepend “ollama_chat/” to the model name like such

from smolagents import CodeAgent, LiteLLMModel

model = LiteLLMModel(
    model_id="ollama_chat/qwen2.5-coder:14b-instruct-q4_K_M",
    api_base="http://localhost:11434",
    num_ctx=8192,
)

agent = CodeAgent(tools=[], model=model, add_base_tools=True)

agent.run(
    "Could you give me the 40th number in the Fibonacci sequence?",
)

Works like a charm!
