Hi everyone,

I’m using smolagents with a QWEN 32B model (via CodeAgent) and have run into an issue with the generated code. Sometimes, the code produced by the agent includes multiple calls to `final_answer`, with one appearing in the middle of the script. Because `final_answer` is designed to signal the end of execution, any code following its first occurrence (for example, calls like `task_to_do()`) doesn’t get executed.

**What I’ve tried:**

- I’ve attempted to “teach” the model to avoid placing `final_answer` in the middle of the code, but this approach has been unreliable.

**My goal is:**

- To have an execution model or workaround in smolagents that ensures the complete code block executes, even if a premature `final_answer` is generated.

**Question:**  
Is there an agent configuration, workaround, or best practice within smolagents that can allow all code to execute even if `final_answer` is called early? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

It seems that there are people who are having trouble with this, but there doesn’t seem to be a solution on the library side yet. You might want to raise an issue on github.🤔
