Abstract:Agentic modeling aims to transform LLMs into autonomous agents capable of solving complex tasks through planning, reasoning, tool use, and multi-turn interaction with external environments. We present Orchard, an open-source framework for scalable agentic modeling. At its core is Orchard Env, a lightweight Kubernetes-native environment service that provides reusable primitives for sandbox lifecycle management across task domains, agent harnesses, and training stages. On top of Orchard Env, we build three agentic modeling recipes. Orchard-SWE targets software engineering agents. We introduce credit-assignment supervised fine-tuning and a progression of RL signals: Balanced Adaptive Rollout (BAR) for sparse-reward optimization, on-policy distillation (OPD) and rubric-based process reward (RPR) for dense supervision, and historical experience distillation, which compresses rollouts from prior experiments into a compact value model for inference-time reranking. Built on the Qwen3.5-35B-A3B backbone, Orchard-SWE reaches 69.7% with RPR-based RL and 73.0% with value-model reranking on SWE-bench Verified, setting a new state of the art among open-source methods while approaching frontier systems over 10x larger. Orchard-GUI trains a 4B vision-language computer-use agent using only 0.4K distilled trajectories and 2.2K open-ended tasks, achieving 68.4% average success across WebVoyager, Online-Mind2Web, and DeepShop, making it the strongest open-source model while remaining competitive with proprietary systems. Orchard-Claw targets personal assistant agents. Trained with only 0.2K synthetic tasks, it achieves 59.6% pass@3 on Claw-Eval and 73.9% when paired with the stronger ZeroClaw harness. Collectively, these results demonstrate that a lightweight, open, harness-agnostic environment layer enables reusable agentic data, training recipes, and evaluation protocols across domains.
