Reasoning and routing
Orca treats DeepSeek reasoning settings and model routing as first-class coding workflow controls.
Orca is DeepSeek-native: max reasoning effort, streaming reasoning, prefix-cache friendly prompts, 1M-context coding, local tools, and approval-aware automation are part of the normal loop.

Model fit
Orca treats DeepSeek reasoning settings and model routing as first-class coding workflow controls.
The prompt stays stable across tools, summaries, compaction, and resume so repeated turns avoid waste.
JSONL transcripts make DeepSeek Orca sessions searchable, resumable, forkable, and auditable.
