Amp adds Claude Code mode that uses your Claude Pro or Max plan
AI summary
Amp announced that users can now use their Claude Pro/Max subscription inside Amp, free and available to everyone. When creating a new thread, users pick Mode > Claude Code and are asked to link their Claude subscription if they haven't already; under the hood, this mode uses the Claude Agent SDK instead of Amp's own agent. Amp says orbs and runners, thread sharing, portals, multiplayer, and thread-to-thread messaging and orchestration all still work in this mode.
In-depth insight
It shows subscription-based coding tools becoming interoperable, letting developers reuse a single Claude plan across multiple agent clients.
