Amp

Just reset all Amp subscribers' orb usage. We had some orb startup bugs on Sunday (fixed). Also just cut @AmpCode orb prices by 20% for everyone. It's orbin' time!

Orbs are now the centre of gravity for work in Amp. The natural next step is to bring your team and your agent together in the same orb. So, we're shipping multiplayer for orbs. ampcode.com/news/multiplay…

Amp agents can now set schedules and wake themselves up. Same thread, full context, picks up right where it left off. Your agents now work while you sleep. ampcode.com/news/schedule

Amp is now in Slack! Fix bugs, resolve incidents, kick off features, and respond to feedback by at-mentioning Amp in any channel or thread. Puck, our new meta-agent, will handle it and post back updates, screenshots, and follow-ups directly in Slack.

Introducing Amp Subscriptions $20 or $200 gets you on the agentic frontier with us.

Raising An Agent is back! In the first episode of season 2, @sqs and @thorstenball discuss why the Amp team went heads-down the last few months to rebuild Amp around remote-controllable, parallel agents, running locally or in orbs. They also talk about how this shift changed our development workflows and what that means for the future of local development. 00:00 Intro: Is local development obsolete? 00:53 What we've been up to since "the coding agent is dead" 03:03 The Amp Neo rewrite and what has changed 07:38 From unconstrained tokens to unconstrained parallel agents 11:25 How orbs change our development workflow 18:25 Cloud agents are underestimated 20:18 Killing obsolete features & choosing agents as a team 23:35 Why developers overestimate local development 27:54 Pushing straight to main & rethinking CI 31:20 How agents will reshape teams, products & companies 36:40 Complex dev environments & standardization 43:20 Amp subscriptions 45:55 What’s shipping next

You can now try Inkling in Amp: amp update amp plugins add --auto-update @amp/inkling-mode amp -m inkling If you haven't yet installed Amp: curl -fsSL ampcode.com/install.sh | bash As with Grok 4.5, we invite you to experiment alongside us with this new model!

We are back.

The Amp CLI is still working and is not affected by this authentication outage (only authed browser sessions). You can `amp threads list` and `amp threads continue ` to keep using Amp for any threads that you started in the web app. We are sorry for the disruption. We will make Amp more resilient to outages in our authentication service going forward.

Signed-in pages and the web app on ampcode.com are unreachable. See ampcodestatus.com. Sorry for the disruption; we are working to get it back up ASAP. The Amp CLI still works (if it was previously authenticated).

Amp is now ~50% cheaper on average (and much better) since we mostly replaced Opus with GPT-5.6 and shipped this little guy. Wild times.

You can use a SuperGrok subscription with Amp to try out Grok 4.5

Grok 4.5 in Amp. It's not yet tuned and optimized, but we invite you to experiment with us. If you haven't yet installed Amp: curl -fsSL ampcode.com/install.sh | bash Then try it out: amp update amp plugins add @amp/grok-45-mode --auto-update amp --mode grok45

Amp now shows your running and recently paused orbs at ampcode.com/settings/orbs. (No need to worry about pausing them. Amp does it automatically.)

Your agents can now, uh, *checks notes* declare independence from your laptop. Amp orbs just got 2x the storage and more CPU/memory choices.

You can now spawn Amp agents in orbs. ampcode.com/news/agents-in…

This issue should now be resolved.

We're seeing some issues with the availability of GLM 5.2. Stand by as we increase our rate limits.
