Amp August 21, 2026 Changelog

This update is all about helping you understand where your computing resources are going. It’s especially useful if you use Amp a lot and want to figure out which projects or conversations are eating up the most tokens (the chunks of text AI reads) or "orbs" (the computing time and power needed to run your code).

What's new

• Ask Puck about your usage: You can now ask Puck questions in plain English to track your stats. For example, you can ask which chats used the most tokens today, or exactly how much "orbin'" time you've used in the last three hours down to the millisecond.
• Smart project advice: You can ask Puck if you could switch to a smaller "orb size" (using less computing power) to save resources without making your code run too slowly.
• Detailed usage commands: If you like doing things yourself, you can now type amp usage --details or amp threads usage --details to get the raw data. You can even use this data to build a cool chart in an orb portal.

Improvements

• Puck now reads both your overall personal usage and your per-thread (per-conversation) usage to give you much more accurate and helpful answers about your account activity.
