You don't need a PhD to run evals.
@sqs had agents build fake shopfronts and permit sites, complete with annoying cookie banners, to improve browser use in orbs.
“It's like with usability testing: you learn most of the insights from the first three people you talk to”
Would you prefer to save money with dial-up when your competitors are using fiber?
Recorded on Hot Take Thursday, @sqs and @thorstenball are back with a new Raising An Agent. In this episode they discuss how cheaper models end up costing more, why they do not not wait for agents, running evals in Orbs, and the hot takes Thorsten left out of his X post last week.
00:00 Intro: Engineers who forget the history of technology
01:55 Hot Take Thursday & a €50-a-week token budget
05:14 Why cheap models cost more than frontier models
08:11 Token budgets & who gets priced out
14:06 Disrupt yourself with small teams & unlimited tokens
16:38 Agents go horizontal across the software lifecycle
20:56 Rollouts, bug reports & "I'm feeling Pucky"
23:53 Code review, monorepos & other walls around the agent
25:30 How to show a cautious company what agents can do
29:48 Why most people haven't seen what agents can do
31:57 Don't wait for your agent
33:38 Simple evals & agents testing agents in Orbs
38:27 Why Amp has runners too

I shipped a change to a PHP 5 + Node 8 project the other night that would’ve been a nightmare without Amp and Orbs. As if I want to figure out how to install and run that shit in 2026.
With orbs it just worked, no configuration, it just figured out how to create an environment where everything ran and I could preview my changes effortlessly.
If you are excited about Codex Cloud I am begging you to please use @AmpCode.
It is so obviously the closest to what the future of building with agents (especially on teams) looks like.
Threads are the new PR, and everyone on the team should be able to see them.

We worked with @OpenAI so you can now (officially) Sign in with ChatGPT on @AmpCode and use your sub and credits on Amp.
You can use Amp totally for free this way (and only pay for Amp Megawatt/Gigawatt when you need orbs).
Go get orbin'!

Medium in Amp now runs Opus 5.5.
65% on our evals vs 61% for GPT-5.6 Sol, at 10% less cost. Still behind Fable 5.1 (71%), but 40% cheaper.
Fable stays in ultra for the hard stuff.

quand on sait que tiktok recrute à coup de millions des ingés en neurosciences comportementales et des spécialistes du design persuasif pour hacker nos circuits dopaminergiques, je me félicite chaque jour de n'avoir jamais créé de compte sur cette plateforme mdr
regardez ces études scientifiques en IRMF et eeg qui montrent très clairement quele format vidéo court attaque directement le cortex préfrontal et le cortex cingulaire antérieur (pour info ces zones gèrent le contrôle exécutif, la prise de décision et la régulation de l'attention)
sachez qu’een bombardant le cerveau de micro stimuli imprévisibles, l'algo altère la densité de matière grise et réduit l'activité du réseau par défaut & cette surstimulation permanente entraîne une incapacité chronique à penser à long terme et détruit la capacité à être focus, 2 facultés qui pour moi sont littéralement indispensables à notre époque pour construire l'avenir
bref je pense que refuser d'entrer dans ce système, c'est simplement préserver son autonomie cognitive et la souveraineté de sa propre attention face à une ingénierie de l'addiction taillée sur mesure
this banger of geocities nostalgia brought to you by ampcode, opus 5.5, and the following prompt
"Just use a cheaper model" sounds like saving money.
But fiber didn't just make your internet faster. It made whole new businesses possible. @thorstenball and @sqs discuss how the same is true with frontier models.

If you have the patience to watch your agents work step-by-step, you're giving them too short a leash.

Minor, might be useful for some people building automations with Amp

GPT-6 Sol and Luna are out. Not only are they a very significant improvement across the board, but also in writing and general "you know when you try it" quality.
We are also permanently reducing the API price by 50% making both of them viable for a ton of new usecases and making your usage go further too, even on the subscriptions.
And one more thing. We are loading a banked reset into all accounts of our Plus, Pro and Business users. Let's go!

Today @sourcegraph’s Agentic Batch Changes, the frontier agent for large-scale code changes and migrations, goes live. The Batch Changes engine already helps our customers merge half a million PRs per year for security and remediation, dependency upgrades, and ops migrations. With this release, we are bringing a frontier agent to oversee changes and adapt to the unique requirements of thousands of repos at once.

libvaxis hit 2,000 stars today. It’s not used a ton*, but it has influenced how other popular TUI libraries handle the insanity of the terminal world. I’m pretty proud of that.
* It’s probably on your computer though…try `ghostty +boo`

@AmpCode just be giving out credits for reporting a bug bruh.
And the bug was fixed in an hour!
Excellent news!
Amp is now free to use when you bring your own compute and model subscriptions/keys.
No more limits or fees for BYOK.
