## What it is
A free, open-source course by Hugging Face that teaches how to build AI agents, from fundamentals to a benchmark-based final assignment. It covers frameworks like smolagents, LlamaIndex, and LangGraph, with hands-on units and bonus material on fine-tuning LLMs for function calling.

## Use cases
- learn how to build ai agents
- free course on llm agents
- learn smolagents framework
- understand langgraph and llamaindex for agents
- fine-tune an llm for function calling
- get started with agentic ai

## When to choose
- you want a structured, hands-on introduction to building AI agents
- you want to compare smolagents, LlamaIndex, and LangGraph
- you prefer free, self-paced learning with a final benchmark project

## When to avoid
- you need production agent infrastructure rather than education
- you want a library or framework to use directly in an application
- you need deep non-agent machine learning topics

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: agent-framework, llm-inference, machine-learning, prompt-engineering
- domain: artificial-intelligence, large-language-models, tutorials, education
- platform: python, cross-platform
- tags: course, huggingface, smolagents, langgraph, llamaindex, free-course, ai-education, ai-agents
