v1.7.0

Main changes

Added commands to directly run agents from CLI: smolagent and webagent ✨

• Make web browser agent example a CLI script by @merveenoyan in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/416
• Add CLI for smolagents by @aymeric-roucher in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/431
  • Now you can run smolagent "Your task!" from CLI to directly call a smolagent. Try it! webagent "Find me a cheap train from Paris to Torino before Thursday" or smolagent "Who's the current director of La French Tech?"

Gave a memory to agents! 🧠

• Untangling Logging by @clefourrier in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/316
• Test memory by @albertvillanova in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/428
  • This added a specific memory attribute to the agent!
  • We used this change to introduce nice functions like an agent.replay() function that replays the last run (based on the memories stored, so no further LLM calls)

Other big improvements 💪

• Improve code execution logs in case of error by showing print outputs by @aymeric-roucher in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/446

  • This makes sure that code execution outputs are stored to memory even when an error was raised later on. It should slightly improve the performance of CodeAgents

• Update benchmark with Hub datasets by @albertvillanova in https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/412

  • This adds storing of benchmarking outputs directly to the Hub. Moving forward, we'll make benchmarking even easier!
