What Happened

We now support VLMs in smolagents!

Our Take

here's the thing: VLMs in smolagents isn't just a clever abstraction; it’s a necessary evil for running complex systems on less powerful hardware. it lets us shoehorn knowledge retrieval into systems that wouldn't otherwise handle the memory load. it's not magic scaling; it's smart constraint management. it lets us actually deploy multimodal stuff outside of the hyper-expensive cloud clusters.

What To Do

Experiment with integrating VLMs into your existing agent workflows to measure the reduction in required compute.
