Opus is worth it, and maybe cheaper all-in than Sonnet? Early rough non-representative numbers, for our own internal @AmpCode usage (avg cost $ per thread): - Sonnet 4.5: $1.83 - Opus 4.5: $1.30 (earlier checkpoint last week was $1.55) - Gemini 3 Pro: $1.21

Periodic reminder that Amp Free is free and we're able to use a more intelligent model because we offset the cost of inference by showing ads for other dev tools: https://t.co/qHUrbnDq3o

Long coding agent threads (> ~350k tokens) so rarely yield good results. If itโs repetitive work (like a refactor), itโs better, but you should run many smaller threads in parallel. (We have a WIP subagent that we hope to release soon that can help here.) If itโs a long and

Amp Free just got a BIG upgrade: ~65% faster, *much* smarter model (ads pay well, we 5x'd ALL rate limits!). Happy weekend coding. Will keep this if our tests and your feedback are all positive. (`amp update` or update Amp extension to use.)

Amp now lets you provide tools to the agent with a few lines of code. Instead of writing an MCP server, you can drop any executable into a directory you tell Amp about. As long as the executable can produce a tool description, Amp will pick it up. This way Amp doesn't have to

A couple security-oriented ships for Amp today. You can allow or block MCP servers with string matches, regexes, or glob patterns. Admins can override individual settings with a special file on diskโuseful for ensuring security and consistency when it comes to MCP and tools.

Amp CLI now has custom slash commands. It is a slightly different spin. I did not like the custom syntax on top of Markdown. You can express them in two ways: - Raw Markdown - Executable Executables inject what comes to stdout into the context of the LLM. Write them in any

Many coding agents have a "modes" feature that (kinda?) made sense in a RAG or early agentic era. Now they're adding subagents like Amp (search subagent, general subagents, the oracle) and Claude Code (which just shipped a really cool custom subagents feature). Modes are
