Orca 1.4 moved the product forward, but it also made the weak spots easier to see. Some outputs were too eager. Some property reads were directionally right but not tight enough. Orca 1.4.1 is a focused pass on those problems.
This is not a new market expansion release. It is a quality release. We would rather make Miami feel solid and predictable than stack on new coverage before the core behavior is where it needs to be.
Why 1.4.1 exists
Orca 1.4 introduced a richer property context layer. That was the right move, but richer output only matters if it is also stable. A model that says more without better calibration creates noise instead of confidence.
Orca 1.4.1 is the release where we tighten that layer. The goal is straightforward: fewer rough reads, less overreach in ambiguous cases, and cleaner output when the evidence is only partial.
What changed
Tighter confidence behavior
when the visual evidence is thin, Orca is more willing to stay narrow instead of sounding certain too early.
Cleaner property context
property-level reads are more grounded in the visible environment instead of stretching from weak cues.
Better Miami consistency
repeated analyses now feel more stable across similar image conditions and borderline neighborhood cases.
Less noisy output
responses are more compact, more decision-ready, and less likely to bury the useful signal in filler.
What that looks like in the product
The point of 1.4.1 is not prettier output. It is faster, cleaner verification when a user is moving between the map, Street View, and the structured result panel.
"1.4 was the right direction. 1.4.1 is the part where it starts to feel reliable."

What did not change
Orca 1.4.1 remains Miami-first. We are still choosing quality over breadth. That means no new city push in this release and no change to the larger roadmap logic.
The privacy model also stays the same. Analysis data remains encrypted per user, user uploads are not used for training, and retention continues to follow account policy.
Why small releases matter
The obvious temptation after a milestone release is to keep adding visible surface area. We think that is usually the wrong move. The real trust curve is built in the smaller updates where the system becomes calmer, sharper, and easier to rely on.
Orca 1.4.1 is that kind of update. It does not try to look dramatic. It tries to make the product feel better every time it is used.
Try Orca 1.4.1
Orca 1.4.1 is live in Miami. If you have used 1.4 already, the difference should feel immediate in the harder edge cases.
