DEV Community highlights smolagents as the example of a 2026 shift toward code-first agent runtimes: roughly 1,000 lines of Python core routing, with models writing and executing raw Python snippets inside a managed sandbox. Agents that emit and run code instead of chaining rigid tool schemas are gaining ground as a leaner alternative to heavyweight orchestration. Worth reading the source if only because 1,000 lines is small enough to actually understand end to end.
