Amp launches tiered Agent Modes and subagents
- Replaced a long video transcript of a developer workflow with a structured product breakdown.
- Introduced four distinct "Agent Modes" (Low, Medium, High, Ultra) with specific model assignments like GPT-6 Astra and Opus 5.5.
- Added a "Subagents" section featuring specialized tools for search, codebase retrieval (Librarian), and thread reading.
- Added a usage chart showing which modes are most popular among users and the internal team.
- Listed "System Models" for specific tasks like voice dictation, media analysis, and image generation.
- Added a link to a new Security Reference page regarding inference providers.
The product has shifted from a single agent interface to a specialized system. By offering different modes (Low, Medium, High, Ultra), they are letting users trade off speed and cost for reasoning power, which may attract a wider range of developer budgets.
