More for less: the average paying Amp user now pays ~21% less per day vs. a few weeks ago, while # {threads,messages} {,per user}, users, & total revenue are all growing. We did this while keeping Amp's `smart` mode quality the same or better, and without subsidizing you (which is unsustainable and leads to bad incentives). - We shipped /handoff and ripped out compaction. This leads to smaller and more focused threads: better output for less tokens and less money. - ~20% (and growing) of paying Amp users (excl. enterprise) now also use Amp Free for some threads on any given day, which lets you choose your desired mix of quality/cost. - We switched Amp's search subagent to Haiku, which makes it ~50% faster with the same eval performance. - People are publicly sharing some great Amp threads that show off how to use it effectively (mainly small, focused threads). - And a lot of smaller things. (p90 paid user spend per day is down ~12%.) On the Amp team, we're committed to keeping `smart` mode the very best, no matter the cost. Amp Free is proving to be a useful testbed for us to make broad efficiency gains, and as a pressure valve so that we don't need to compromise quality in `smart` mode to reach a broad userbase. Happy coding!
