🚀 New smolagents update: Safer Local Python Execution! 🦾🐍

With the latest release, we've added security checks to the local Python interpreter: every evaluation is now analyzed for dangerous builtins, modules, and functions. 🔒

Here's why this matters & what you need to know! 🧵👇

1️⃣ Why is local execution risky? ⚠️
AI agents that run arbitrary Python code can unintentionally (or maliciously) access system files, run unsafe commands, or exfiltrate data.

2️⃣ New Safety Layer in smolagents 🛡️
We now inspect every return value during execution:
✅ Allowed: Safe built-in types (e.g., numbers, strings, lists)
⛔ Blocked: Dangerous functions/modules (e.g., os.system, subprocess, exec, shutil)

3️⃣ Immediate Benefits 💡
- Prevent agents from accessing unsafe builtins
- Block unauthorized file or network access
- Reduce accidental security vulnerabilities

4️⃣ Security Disclaimer ⚠️
🚨 Despite these improvements, local Python execution is NEVER 100% safe. 🚨
If you need true isolation, use a remote sandboxed executor like Docker or E2B.

5️⃣ The Best Practice: Use Sandboxed Execution 🔐
For production-grade AI agents, we strongly recommend running code in a Docker or E2B sandbox to ensure complete isolation.

6️⃣ Upgrade Now & Stay Safe! 🚀
Check out the latest smolagents release and start building safer AI agents today.

🚀 Big news for AI agents! With the latest release of smolagents, you can now securely execute Python code in sandboxed Docker or E2B environments. 🦾🔒

Here's why this is a game-changer for agent-based systems: 🧵👇

1️⃣ Security First 🔐
Running AI agents in unrestricted Python environments is risky! With sandboxing, your agents are isolated, preventing unintended file access, network abuse, or system modifications.

2️⃣ Deterministic & Reproducible Runs 📦
By running agents in containerized environments, you ensure that every execution happens in a controlled and predictable setting—no more environment mismatches or dependency issues!

3️⃣ Resource Control & Limits 🚦
Docker and E2B allow you to enforce CPU, memory, and execution time limits, so rogue or inefficient agents don’t spiral out of control.

4️⃣ Safer Code Execution in Production 🏭
Deploy AI agents confidently, knowing that any generated code runs in an ephemeral, isolated environment, protecting your host machine and infrastructure.

5️⃣ Easy to Integrate 🛠️
With smolagents, you can simply configure your agent to use Docker or E2B as its execution backend—no need for complex security setups!

6️⃣ Perfect for Autonomous AI Agents 🤖
If your AI agents generate and execute code dynamically, this is a must-have to avoid security pitfalls while enabling advanced automation.

🚨 How green is your model? 🌱 Introducing a new feature in the Comparator tool: Environmental Impact for responsible #LLM research!
👉 open-llm-leaderboard/comparator
Now, you can not only compare models by performance, but also by their environmental footprint!

🌍 The Comparator calculates CO₂ emissions during evaluation and shows key model characteristics: evaluation score, number of parameters, architecture, precision, type... 🛠️
Make informed decisions about your model's impact on the planet and join the movement towards greener AI!
