# First Agent (smolagents)

A modular educational AI agent built with **smolagents** and **Gradio**, following the Hugging Face Agents Course.

The agent can:

* Generate images
* Perform web search
* Visit web pages
* Get current time by timezone
* Check disk usage

Runs locally and on **Hugging Face Spaces**.

## Model

```
Qwen/Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct
```

Accessed via Hugging Face serverless inference (`HfApiModel`).

---

## Local Setup

### 1. Create virtual environment

```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
```

### 2. Install dependencies

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

### 3. Set HF token

Create `.env`:

```
HF_TOKEN=hf_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

Get token from:
https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
Scope: **Read**

### 4. Run

```bash
python app.py
```

---

## Hugging Face Spaces

Add your token in:

**Settings → Secrets → HF_TOKEN**

No need for `share=True` on Spaces.

---

## Runtime Behavior

* Old files are cleaned
* Directory is ignored via `.gitignore`
* Works both locally and inside HF container

---

## Status
