Amp Code: Next Generation AI Coding – Beyang Liu, Amp Code

Beyang Liu introduces AMP, an opinionated frontier agent designed to help developers navigate the evolving landscape of AI-assisted coding. He details AMP's architecture, emphasizing its unique approach to sub-agents like the Finder, Oracle, Librarian, and Kraken, which enhance context management and reasoning. Liu contrasts AMP's design with other coding agents, highlighting its focus on a curated toolset and specialized top-level agents (Smart Agent and Rush Agent) optimized for different development modalities. He also discusses AMP's user interface innovations in both editor and terminal environments, aimed at streamlining code review and leveraging modern terminal capabilities. Furthermore, he touches on AMP's community-building efforts and its experimental ad network to make agent-assisted coding more accessible.
