When Tokens Flow Like Electricity

Quinn and Thorsten predict that intelligence will get cheap and tokens will be everywhere, then ask what that does to software. They debate build versus buy in the age of agents, why Orbs are worth paying for while Thorsten one-shot a bug tracker, and why developers should do X instead of building software to do X. They also explain the two Amps, why building Amp feels like owning a house instead of renting, and how they plan to bring the Amp way to more teams.

Orbs and Jellyware

This episode was recorded in person in Munich, where the whole Amp team had gathered for a week of building. Quinn and Thorsten discuss why isolated Orbs make it easier to run agents in parallel, how the team asks agents for exhaustive verification, and how production itself can become a feedback loop. They also introduce jellyware: high-quality software that is designed to change quickly. When agents make software more malleable, teams can fix bugs faster and raise the quality bar instead of lowering it.

Local Dev Doesn't Matter on the Frontier

In the first episode of season 2, Quinn and Thorsten discuss why the Amp team went heads-down the last few months to rebuild Amp around remote-controllable, parallel agents, running locally or in orbs. They also talk about how this shift changed our development workflows and what that means for the future of local development.

Episode 9

Quinn and Thorsten are back! It's been a while since they published a Raising An Agent episode and in this this episode, they discuss how everything seems to have changed again with Gemini 3 and Opus 4.5 and what comes after — the assistant is dead, long live the factory.

Episode 8

In this episode of Raising an Agent, Beyang and Camden dive into how the Amp team evaluates models for agentic coding. They break down why tool calling is the key differentiator, what went wrong with Gemini Pro, and why open models like K2 and Qwen are promising but not ready as main drivers. They share first impressions of GPT-5, explore the idea of alloying models, and explain why qualitative "vibe checks" often matter more than benchmarks. If you want to understand how Amp thinks about model selection, subagents, and the future of coding with agents, this episode has you covered.

Episode 7

In this episode, Beyang and Thorsten discuss strategies for effective agentic coding, including the 101 of how it's different from coding with chat LLMs, the key constraint of the context window, how and where subagents can help, and the new oracle subagent which combines multiple LLMs. 00:53 Intros 03:35 How coding with agents is very different from coding with prior AI tools that use chat LLMs 10:46 Example of an agentic coding run to fix a simple issue 14:28 Example of debugging an issue with an MCP server 22:05 Example of unifying two build scripts that share logic 25:24 How context window size has emerged as a key constraint on agentic automation 31:16 Why it's best to focus on one thing at a time per agentic thread 33:24 Subagents and how they help extend the effective context window 34:04 The Amp codebase search subagent 38:48 General-purpose subagents 44:20 When to use subagents 47:04 The oracle subagent and o3 51:47 Multi-model agents and using the best model for each job
