I was worried about Amp for a minute there. When I showed it this rendering bug, it tried to give up and revert all of our progress. A little pep talk got it back on track…

When you nudge a model to execute code to check its work (aka improve the feedback loop), they can come up with some pretty neat approaches…

We went a bit yolo and dropped a new homepage on Monday 😅 go give it a spin! There's quite a stupid amount of hidden easter egg commands that I had way too much fun implementing while no one was looking

Good advice for any coding agent!
My teammate @lewis_b_metcalf wrote about why he loves short threads in Amp and how he manages them. Read it, it's great: https://t.co/cvgzM9tdFT

Amp now lets you find past Amp threads. You can say "which thread created this file?" and Amp will find it and let you extract context from that conversation. git blame, but for Amp threads, kind of. I'm biased, because I built it, but I love using it.

Amp is becoming its own company. It's time to find out where all of this is going.

We’re making Sourcegraph and Amp two independent companies. @Sourcegraph will be totally focused on code search and code understanding for big codebases, in a world where AI is writing and searching 1000x more code. @AmpCode is becoming Amp Inc., an independent research lab,

These dynamic OpenGraph images were fun. Still honing the font stack (need to license more weights), but @BlazeFoundry’s work has been a pleasure to use.

Opus testimonial: all the design updates we managed to ship on the @AmpCode site this week (and we haven’t finished yet)
Another historic change, just a week later: Amp now uses Claude Opus 4.5 by default.

Been a wild 48h — but that's life on the edge
It’s been 48 hours with Gemini 3 in @AmpCode. The model is impressively good, but the rollout wasn’t as smooth as we wanted it to be. Here are the issues we’ve seen: 1. Capacity issues and related early stopping (now resolved, and monitoring) 2. Thinking leaks 3. Repetitive

Spontaneously recorded a video here in the Amp office to show you why I think Gemini 3 is great and why they play love songs here in the office when I talk about it.
