Amp lets users run threads on their Claude subscription

Archive entry: this covers an event from October 10, 2026, and we published it on November 8, 2026. The details come from sources dated at the time and may have changed since.

On October 10, 2026, Amp published a news post, Use Your Claude Plan in Amp, announcing that users could run Amp threads on their own Claude subscription. The post presented the option as a Claude Code mode inside Amp.

What changed

• Users selected Mode > Claude Code when creating a thread, and Amp then prompted them to link their Claude subscription.
• Under the hood, the mode used the Claude Agent SDK instead of Amp's own agent.
• Amp said orbs and runners, thread sharing, portals, multiplayer, and thread-to-thread messaging and orchestration worked in this mode.

What it meant for builders

Claude subscribers could use Amp's collaboration and remote-agent features without paying for separate model usage. The agent in this mode came from Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK, while the surrounding features, such as thread sharing, multiplayer and thread-to-thread orchestration, stayed part of Amp. In effect, the mode swapped the engine behind a thread and kept the workflow around it.

Availability

Amp's post, dated October 10, 2026, called the mode free and available for everyone. Amp published it on its own news page, and every detail in this summary comes from that post.
