Do I need to manually install transformers module?

[auroradanier]

I just installed smolagents with uv, when i run the sample test from the guide, it says transformers module not found.
Do I have to manually install it? Seems it's not included in the package.

Pls advise, thanks.

The transformers module exist in the optional dependencies under pyproject.toml. But you can install it manually with 'pip install transformers' it worked for me.

Thanks for reporting. I think we made a regression in our last release.

Hey folks, I got the same issue by trying to test the text to SQL agent.

Once the fix integrated, we will make a patch release.
