The Improvement Loop for Every Workflow
Orchestra turns production work and expert judgment into evaluations, better routes, and proprietary specialist models.
- 01
Observe
Production traces and expert corrections
- 02
Evaluate
Each task for its definition of success
- 03
Improve
Prompts, models, and specialist training
- 04
Deploy
Approved changes and a retained fallback
Use Calls You Already Make
Use existing OpenAI or Anthropic SDK with an Orchestra API key and the gateway base URL. Configure your provider or managed-model access in the app.
Open the appOpenAI SDK Python
from openai import OpenAI
import os
client = OpenAI(
api_key=os.environ["ORCHESTRA_API_KEY"],
base_url="https://api.understudylabs.com/v1",
)Anthropic SDK Python
from anthropic import Anthropic
import os
client = Anthropic(
api_key=os.environ["ORCHESTRA_API_KEY"],
base_url="https://api.understudylabs.com",
)Set Outcomes that Matter
Generic benchmarks don't tell you how models perform on the work that you do. Orchestra creates specialized benchmarks that show if the model updated the right record or followed your policy.

Implement What Moves the Work Forward
Improved Instructions
Make the task precise before shifting to a different model. Repair prompts, schemas, parsers, and tool contracts.
Head-to-Head Comparison
Compare frontier and open models on the same held-out work. Evaluate quality alongside response time and cost of the complete route.
Proprietary Specialist Weights
For a recurring task, use accepted traces and expert corrections to train a specialist. Test the resulting model against the same benchmarks as frontier or off-the-shelf models.
Keep frontier capabilities where they’re most effective. Review candidates against the baseline, introduce a new one gradually, and hold onto the prior route when evidence calls for it.
Retain the Intelligence Your Work Creates
Task-specific artifacts and trained specialists create a body of knowledge you continually improve.
- Prompts
- Refined instructions and task context
- Evaluators
- Examples, rubrics, and checks to meet a definition of success
- Routing Rules
- Decisions that implement a given model and keep a fallback in place
- Specialist Models
- Weights trained specifically to the task at hand
