watsonx Orchestrate (wxO): Build · Test · Debug · Publish
Last verified: ADK v2.15.x (Aug 2026). Version-specific items below (server extras, premier-model default, default LLM, UI render flags) are point-in-time; re-verify if
orchestrate --versiondiffers. Golden rule: the ADK moves fast. Always verify uncertain flags withorchestrate <group> --help; never rely on memory. Upgrade:pip install -U ibm-watsonx-orchestrate(Python ≥3.11, <3.15). Pre-flight: activate venv (source venv/bin/activate) · always import + test after code generation.
