Amp kills its Dial modes for a model selector that shows exactly who gets billed
bytebot · x · 2026-11-13
Amp is retiring the Dial's low/medium/high/ultra modes in favor of a model selector: pick the model and effort per thread, switch mid-thread, and see exactly which subscription, API key, or Amp credits gets billed. The team explains the reversal — BYO subscriptions made billing attribution opaque, so the model choice now decides who pays. A "Staff Pick" remains for those who don't want to choose (currently Opus 5.5).
