With Conductor announcing its shutdown today, Amp's 3-month free subscription offer comes at an interesting time.
I never tried Conductor since it was Mac-only, but I've been meaning to give Amp a proper try.
Just redeemed the offer. Looking forward to testing Amp on real coding work and seeing how it compares with my current tools.
heard a lot of people are leaving conductor.
Good news is that amp is RIPPING and we'd love to have you give it a go, i'll keep this short:
1. download the mac and ios app ampcode.com/app
2. three months of free sub below
3. import all your threads from all your coding agents
One thing I really miss after switching from Codex Desktop to Claude Desktop last month is automations.
Claude’s scheduled jobs are nowhere near as good as Codex’s. Most of my Codex automations were Heartbeats, and Claude doesn’t have a real equivalent.
I’m now experimenting with Hermes bots and cron jobs to recreate that experience.
The added benefit is portability. I don’t want my automations tied to whichever coding agent I’m using this month. If I switch between Claude, Codex or something else, they should keep running without needing to be rebuilt.
One frustrating limitation of Claude Code Remote Control on mobile: you can’t create new sessions from a coordinator session. You have to go back to your computer to start them.
It defeats part of the purpose of remote control. If I’m coordinating agents from my phone, I should be able to spin up new sessions too.
Uninstalled Orca today and moved fully to the new Herdr desktop app.
Orca served me well and the team ships fast, so no complaints there. What tipped it for me was how each tool tracks agents.
Orca puts hooks into every agent's config. When I cleaned up, I found 13 in Claude Code, 9 in Codex, 8 in Devin and a plugin in Hermes, all running on every prompt and tool call.
Herdr reads agent status from the terminal itself. My Claude and Codex configs are clean again: no hooks, nothing running between me and the agent.
What I like most:
• Agents can drive the workspace through a small CLI. Claude opens a pane next to itself and leaves a command at my prompt (sudo installs, prod releases) without running it. I just press Enter.
• Spaces, tabs and panes per project, with Claude and Codex side by side
• Less setup and fewer moving parts
I still use the Claude and Codex desktop apps too, but for terminal agent work Herdr is home now.
This was much needed on Linux. Codex and Claude lack computer use on Linux.

1/ Excited to announce our new company Particle
This is our first step in a series of models focused on developers.
With particle-1, we focused on token efficiency and managed to keep parity in performance while using ~45% fewer tokens.
Live now: particle.ai
Testing GPT-6.1 Terra on the Plus plan.
Not sure about token usage compared to Sol yet, but overall it's very fast and browser use feels super snappy. Haven't tested it on coding since I already have Claude Max for that.

GPT-6.1 Terra: delivering fast and capable computer use at a lower price.
GPT-6.1 Terra understands what’s on screen, takes action across apps, writes naturally, and is a more capable model for your whole workday with the efficiency to take on more of it.

Stopped using Claude Code Projects and moved back to a Chief of Staff workflow on my local machine.
Claude Projects asks for too many permissions, interrupts often, and switching back and forth between threads is cumbersome.
Hope these get fixed once it's out of beta.
Now I have to decide whether to keep Codex by downgrading to the $20 Plus plan or continue with Devin at $20.
Devin is good, but I haven't even used the free SWE-2 in days. Its real appeal for me is Cloud, where $20 isn't enough. For CLI/Desktop, Claude already covers my needs.
Codex seems more useful as a backup, especially for reviewing Claude's work.
Just got access to Claude Code Projects. Watching a coordinator thread orchestrate parallel threads in real time is a massive workflow upgrade. A few rough edges here and there, but overall a seriously useful addition.
I still have a week left on my Codex subscription, with 3 banked resets, and Devin SWE-2 is free too.
But since switching to Claude, I haven’t felt the need to use either. Claude’s usage limits have been more than enough for my work so far.
After a lot of thought, I finally subscribed to Claude Max 20× and decided not to renew my Codex Pro 20× plan.
Codex is still a great product, and the recent usage resets and improvements are welcome. But I just couldn't resist moving to Opus 5.5.
Let's see how this change works out over the next few weeks.

SWE-2 is now free in Devin for October month. But for Desktop/CLI only. I wish it would have been for Cloud as well.
Yesterday I posted that Sol 6.1 is super slow but today it is working fine. Speed has improved definitely, can't say temporary or permanent?
Day 11/
We've landed a series of changes and more compute to very significantly decrease the occurrence of the disruptive "Selected model is at capacity. Please try a different model". When it does happen, it should also eventually just continue by itself and not just block on it.
Let us know if you still see it out there in the wild and we'll take a look.
Unified my Cursor and X accounts on the Plus plan today, only to find Auto-Review disabled in settings.
Turns out it relies on third-party models (Gemini 3.5 Flash Lite / Claude 4.5 Haiku) that aren't included in Plus. Without Auto-Review, Cursor is honestly barely usable.
