Sourcegraph Amp
Frontier coding agent that spun out of Sourcegraph in Dec 2025.
Overview
Amp is a coding agent for terminal, VS Code, web and mobile that chases the newest frontier models. Built inside Sourcegraph, it spun out as its own company, Amp Inc., in December 2025 and now ships on a faster release cadence than code-search tooling allows.

Amp bets on staying at the model frontier rather than accumulating features — it runs Claude Opus, GPT-5.4 and whatever's newest, and Sourcegraph's own team spun it out as an independent company, Amp Inc., in December 2025 specifically so it could ship faster than code-search infrastructure allows. Pricing is refreshingly honest: individuals pay LLM provider rates with zero platform markup, and there's a genuinely ad-supported free "Fast" mode with no artificial caps. G2 reviewers rate it 4.5/5 across 90 reviews, mostly praising IDE integration and context quality; recurring complaints are performance on very large projects and thin customization. One real caveat: Amp stores agent chat threads on its own servers by default and shares them within your workspace, which matters if you're pasting proprietary code into it. Good fit for teams chasing frontier models over polish.
What people say
On G2, Amp holds a 4.5-out-of-5 average across 90 reviews, with 68% five-star and 27% four-star ratings — a strong showing for a tool that changes its interaction model on a near-monthly cycle. Reviewers consistently call out the IDE integration (it runs as a VS Code extension as well as a CLI, plus web and mobile) and the quality of context it pulls from a codebase, crediting that to Sourcegraph's code-graph heritage.
The recurring complaints cluster around three things: occasional slowness or unresponsiveness on larger projects, thinner customization than power users want, and a pricing model that only really pays off for heavy users — light users on the pay-as-you-go "Smart" tier can end up spending more than a flat-rate competitor would charge. A separate technical review flagged a privacy wrinkle: Amp stores all agent chat threads on its own servers by default, visible to your account and, in team workspaces, to other members — worth knowing before feeding it sensitive code.
The bigger 2026 story is structural. Sourcegraph — which had raised over $200M and been valued around $2.6B — spun Amp out as an independent company, Amp Inc., in December 2025. The stated reason was cadence: code search is "infrastructure-heavy" with a slow release rhythm, while Amp's agent needs to reshape its context and interaction model every few weeks to track frontier model releases. Amp says it was already profitable at the time of the split. Sourcegraph keeps building code search and understanding tools for large codebases; Amp continues as a separate coding-agent product, still compatible with Sourcegraph's tooling but no longer the same company.
Practically, that means anyone still describing Amp as "a Sourcegraph product" is a step behind — worth flagging if you're evaluating vendor stability or support lines for a procurement conversation, since the two now have separate roadmaps, separate leadership, and no guarantee their tooling stays as tightly integrated over time.
