All content about Amp
Amp has introduced several enhancements, including a new 'Rush' mode designed for faster and more cost-effective processing of small tasks, achieving significant reductions in both time and cost. The platform has also improved its CLI with workspace-specific configurations and added features for public profiles and thread sharing, facilitating community engagement and showcasing user workflows. Additionally, the latest updates have enhanced search capabilities and security standards across different service tiers, making the platform more efficient and user-friendly.
Rush is a lightweight Amp agent mode (Haiku 4.5) for quick, low-cost edits on well-scoped tasks — ~67% cheaper and ~50% faster per token than smart. Activate it with mode: use rush in the CLI or via the editor.
Amp CLI now reads .amp/settings.json for workspace-specific config, letting projects store MCP servers and permissions alongside source. Those settings merge with your global config and auto-apply in that workspace.
Amp now offers public user profiles and shared threads to surface real-world agent workflows—from prompting to handoffs. Browse community projects and claim your handle at ampcode.com/@you to showcase your agent work.
Amp Free no longer requires opting into model training and now meets the same security standards as paid Smart mode. The ad-supported tier can be toggled by users; admins control availability (not in Enterprise).
Amp upgraded its search subagent to Haiku 4.5, cutting latency ~50% and lowering operating costs roughly threefold. Additionally, new CLI shortcuts (Tab select, e edit, r restore, f fork) speed iterative thread control.
Amp Free offers no‑cost, ad‑supported coding with a mix of open‑source and frontier models. Free use requires opt‑in data sharing for training and is subject to rate limits and workspace exclusions.
