Hugging Face's Transformers Code Agent achieved top performance on the GAIA benchmark, using a code agent approach with tools for web browsing and file inspection. The post also announces the upgrade of the Transformers Agents library to the standalone smolagents library.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/beating-gaia:

> After some experiments, we were impressed by the performance of Transformers Agents to build agentic systems, so we wanted to see how good it was! We tested using a Code Agent built with the library on the GAIA benchmark, arguably the most difficult and comprehensive agent benchmark… and ended up on top!
