Such a useful walkthrough.

It looks like Mitchell is using an agentic framework called Amp (I’d never heard of it) - does anybody else here use it or tried it? Curious how it stacks up against Claude Code.

I haven't yet spent any time with it myself, but the impression I have been getting is that it is the most credible of the vendor-independent terminal coding agents right now.

Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI are all (loosely) locked to their own models.

This is good to know. I’ll probably play around with it sometime in the future.

BTW, appreciate your many great write-ups - they’ve been invaluable for keeping up to date in this space.

As far as I know it only uses sonnet 4.5

Reason to stick with Claude Code or Codex CLI is that they use the respective platforms’ subscriptions, like Claude Max or ChatGPT-Pro. Unless I’m mistaken, with the other cli apps like Amp you get charged by token usage which can add up to a lot more than the $200/mo that Claude Max 20x or ChatGPT Pro cost.

I’m using it. It’s expensive but it’s awesome

How is it compared to Claude Code?
