Hi everyone!

@Amp has been one of my favorite coding agents since the IDE era.

Back when context compaction was not yet the obvious default, and people were still constantly switching threads, Amp’s Handoff idea really impressed me. Even their experiment with ads to support broader access felt like a bold and unusual product move.

That’s why I wasn’t surprised — though still a bit shocked — when they announced they were self-destructing the old version to rebuild everything from scratch. Amp’s team has always had that fearless rebuild mentality, and now it’s paying off.

Meet Neo — the new Amp CLI. Remote control from the web, automatic compaction instead of manual handoff, a proper Plugin API, queuing + steering, and way better performance. It feels like the same spirit, but clearly built for 2026 and beyond.

If you loved the old Amp, this one is worth checking out immediately.
