🥊 Epic Agent Framework Showdown! Available today!

🔵 In the blue corner, the versatile challenger with a proven track record of knowledge retrieval: LlamaIndex!

🛑 In the red corner, the defender, weighing in with lightweight efficiency: Hugging Face smolagents!

🔗 URL: agents-course

We just published the LlamaIndex unit for the agents course, and it is set to offer a great contrast between the smolagents unit by looking at

- What makes llama-index stand-out
- How the LlamaHub is used for integrations
- Creating QueryEngine components
- Using agents and tools
- Agentic and multi-agent workflows

The team has been working flat-out on this for a few weeks. Supported by Logan Markewich and Laurie Voss over at LlamaIndex.

Who won? You decide!

Toward the end of last year, the Xet team provided an inside look into the foundations of how we plan to enable rapid experimentation and iteration for the AI builders on the Hub: https://huggingface.co/blog/from-files-to-chunks

But it turns out chunks aren't all you need!

Our goal is to bring:
🚀 Faster uploads
⏬ Speedy downloads
💪 All without sacrificing your workflow

To do that, we need the infrastructure and system and design to back it up. As we prepare to roll out the first Xet-backed repositories on the Hub, we wrote up a post explaining the nitty gritty details of the decisions that bring this to life https://huggingface.co/blog/from-chunks-to-blocks

Complete with an interactive visualization that shows the power of deduplication in action - taking a 191GB repo to ~97GB and shaving a few hours off upload speeds.

The darker each block in the heatmap, the more we dedupe, the less we have to transfer. Clicking on a file's blocks shows all other files that share blocks.

Check it out and explore for yourself! xet-team/quantization-dedup

🚀 Find banger tools for your smolagents!

I created the Tools gallery, which makes tools specifically developed by/for smolagents searchable and visible. This will help with:
- inspiration
- best practices
- finding cool tools

I've completed the first unit of the just-launched Hugging Face Agents Course. I would highly recommend it, even for experienced builders, because it is a great walkthrough of the smolagents library and toolkit.

tldr; Parquet is awesome, DuckDB too!

Datasets on the Hugging Face Hub rely on parquet files. We can interact with these files using DuckDB as a fast in-memory database system. One of DuckDB’s features is vector similarity search which can be used with or without an index.
