# On-Policy Orchestration Distillation

POrchestra lets sub-agents proactively send structured requests to the orchestrator during execution, so the orchestrator can revise their subgoal, context, tool set, or execution budget on the spot instead of waiting for the sub-agent to finish or fail. Earlier re-orchestration methods fixed each sub-agent's configuration until its lifecycle ended, delaying adaptation to dynamic environments. Across GAIA, GAIA2, and SWE-Bench Verified, task success improves by an average of 9.1% over the strongest baseline, and the companion OPOD turns that feedback into process supervision, raising small-orchestrator success by an average of 10.0% over training baselines.
