AgentOrch: How Close Can Global Orchestration Come to Step-by-Step Interaction?

AgentOrch is a benchmark that compares global orchestration—where a complete workflow is generated upfront—with step‑by‑step interaction on 650 enterprise standard operating procedures and 3,220 runtime variants. Across all evaluated models, step‑by‑step remains more accurate, but the performance gap has narrowed by about 79% from early to recent models. The study identifies three methods—incremental workflow construction, revising workflows with execution feedback, and targeted training on complete workflows—that can further close the gap, improving global orchestration accuracy by up to 12.18 percentage points.
