21 people, a single meeting a week, no quarterly goals, no pull requests, no mandatory code review, no titles (except one dictator), a hundred releases a day, bugs fixed in minutes, famous for killing features.
@sqs and @thorstenball on how the Amp team works:
Daybreak Blue, now in Amp.
It's GPT-5.6 Sol with extremely low refusals for defensive cyber, and it pairs very nicely with open models like GLM 5.3 and Kimi K3. Get access at chatgpt.com/cyber and bring it into Amp.

We just shipped live video chat for your orbs and threads in @AmpCode.
Go to the new 'space' tab and you'll enter a shared space where you can chat with your team!

It's orbin' time no matter where you are.

My engineers at @tenex_labs have been saying this to me for a while now.
And now they're losing their minds about @AmpCode and their Orb product. The ability to parallelize work on the same codebase with Orbs and then interact with the dev environment in the VM with portals has created a stepwise change in our engineers' productivity.
Fun stuff to watch.

We said Amp Labs would go deep with a few carefully selected customers on the frontier.
We've been quietly building in Sydney with @Westpac, one of Australia's oldest and most respected companies.

The best coding agent in the world is back.

We’re making Sourcegraph and Amp two independent companies.
@Sourcegraph will be totally focused on code search and code understanding for big codebases, in a world where AI is writing and searching 1000x more code.
@AmpCode is becoming Amp Inc., an independent research lab, shipping our frontier coding agent and exploring the future of software development. Our mission is to let software builders harness the full power of artificial intelligence.
Big congrats and thank you to the entire team, all of whom are going to one or the other—and especially to @DanielNealAdler, who will step up as CEO of @Sourcegraph. Dan has a CS and programming background and has built Sourcegraph from the ground up with us, earning tons of dev love and the top tech companies, AI labs, and big banks as customers. He has run almost everything at Sourcegraph along the way and has built a successful, accelerating business here, most recently as our CFO. He has also found time to make hundreds of (very good!) commits to our prod codebase. I’m incredibly excited for the future of code search, including more Deep Search, agentic large-scale changes, and deep integration with all the other coding agents out there (not just Amp).
@beyang and I will remain on Sourcegraph’s board and are founding Amp Inc. with members of the Amp team from Sourcegraph. Our board investors Craft, Redpoint, Sequoia, Goldcrest, and a16z will continue to serve on the boards of both companies.
I’m so grateful to our customers and team for their trust here. Internally, we’ve been operating more independently for the last 45 days and working with customers on the transition, and it has been going incredibly smoothly.
The future is bright. This change will give both Sourcegraph and Amp more focus and will let us ship better and faster. We are all incredibly excited about the road ahead as Sourcegraph and Amp work independently to advance the frontier of software development.
