Amp available to everyone since May 15

Sourcegraph decided to take an interesting marketing approach. They already have a VSC plugin AI agent for writing code (Cody) positioned for business - now they have created a new separate website in a strange, informal, and conversational style and are selling the AI agent plugin they named AMP this way.

It has such manual, which already look like a different site https://ampcode.com/manual - there they write about principles, one of which is "No model selection, always the best models. You don't choose the models, we do" and currently use Claude 3.7 Sonnet Extended thinking, which is certainly good, but from the leaderboards, the best is Gemini 2.5 Pro.

Currently, they give 1000 free credits (from my usage, it's about 700k tokens), then packages are $5 for 500.

The system instructions file is here AGENT.md - it's unknown when we will all agree on one name, and for now, there will be 10 copies in repositories for each AI agent.
