100 Robots, 1M Moves
Chinese robotics company AgiBot unveiled AgiBot World Alpha, an open-source dataset with over 1 million trajectories from 100 robots, aiming to boost general-purpose humanoid training.
Includes data from 100 robots performing diverse tasks in industrial, domestic, and commercial settings.
Features a mix of basic object handling and advanced multi-robot coordination, with 40% focused on household tasks.
The dataset is 10x larger than Google's Open X-Embodiment for navigational data and spans 100x more scenarios.
Freely available on platforms like HuggingFace and GitHub.
Access to such large-scale, high-quality data addresses a major challenge in robotics development. This release could accelerate innovation in household robotics and empower smaller developers with premium resources, leveling the playing field in the industry.

The library is just 1,000 lines of code but includes all essential agent functionality.
A special CodeAgent feature lets AI write Python code directly, cutting down steps by 30%.
It supports multiple AI models like OpenAI, Anthropic, Llama, and Qwen and integrates with the Hugging Face Hub for tool sharing and future expansions.
As AI agents become central to innovation in 2025, frameworks like Smolagents make development more accessible, empowering more people to create advanced agents without the hurdles of complex coding. This simplifies building an "internet of agents" for diverse applications.
