Amp is an agentic coding tool by Sourcegraph that runs in the terminal and editor extensions (including VS Code and compatible forks). It is designed for complex coding tasks such as multi-file edits, planning, and execution using multiple frontier model options. Amp includes a threads feature to save and share interactions, and offers “Amp Free” with a daily credit grant supported by sponsor ads, plus pay-as-you-go usage with no markup for individuals after the free allowance.

What the evidence says about Amp

Amp is a hosted coding agent used through a terminal, web interface, and editor integrations. It works in persistent threads, can inspect and edit repositories, run shell commands and tests, use tools and subagents, and route work through multiple capability modes and model providers.

Last reviewed August 9, 2026

Verified capabilities

  • Repository-aware coding workflows

    Amp can inspect and edit files, run commands and tests, use version-control context, and execute one-shot or interactive coding tasks.[1]

  • Tools, subagents, and extensions

    The agent supports built-in tools, skills, MCP servers, plugins, specialized subagents, and multiple capability modes.[1]

  • Persistent and remote threads

    Threads can be searched, shared, resumed from the web, run on remote machines, or executed through hosted Orbs.[1]

Where it fits best

  • Developers delegating repository changes, test execution, debugging, code review, or codebase research from a terminal or connected editor.[1]
  • Teams that want shareable coding threads and optional remote execution through runners or hosted Orbs.[1]

Buying and deployment notes

Amp offers optional monthly subscriptions with included agent and Orb usage plus pay-as-you-go credits. Individual and non-enterprise model/tool costs are passed through without markup, and the minimum pay-as-you-go credit purchase is $5; Enterprise usage is priced 50% higher and adds administrative controls.[1]

Platforms: CLI on macOS, Linux, and Windows via WSL, Web interface, VS Code and compatible editors, JetBrains IDEs, Neovim, Zed[1]

Deployment: Local CLI, Remote-controlled local runner, Hosted Orb[1]

Important considerations
  • Amp runs tools and shell commands against the workspace, and its manual warns that untrusted repositories, MCP servers, and external inputs can influence the agent; isolated environments or explicit policy controls may be appropriate.[1]
  • Thread visibility can include public-link or workspace sharing, and remote or multiplayer modes can expose files, terminals, and secrets to authorized participants, so sharing settings require care.[1]

Autonomy level

82%

Reasoning: Amp demonstrates high autonomy through multiple mechanisms: it can spawn independent subagents with their own context windows for parallel task execution, autonomously decide when to invoke the oracle (GPT-5 reasoning model) for complex debugging and analysis tasks, and make model selection decisions automatically based on task suitability.
