Description
Rather than calling tools one by one, Orion 2 generates a program and runs it end to end, meaning fewer round-trips and lower latency. You can try it out at https://chat.vlm.runWhen orchestration is code, every workflow is composable, inspectable, and deterministic.We put together a short Orion 2 demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzhXcNAYQ-0

Could you build this?
No Orion 2 involves proprietary vision-language agent research, novel multi-modal context execution runtimes, and specialized sandboxed code execution infra.
What it would actually take: Building this requires training or fine-tuning frontier multimodal models (VLMs) specifically to output executable Python code against image/video inputs rather than individual tool calls. The infrastructure requires a scalable, secure, low-latency code sandbox runner (e.g., Firecracker microVMs or gVisor) that streams visual artifacts and execution stdout back to the model. This demands specialized research in multimodal reasoning, agentic code generation, and low-latency sandboxed execution infrastructure.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
