summary: We're closing admission to Amp Free, for now. If you already have Amp Free, you’re still in, for now. You'll keep getting $10/day in free usage, supported by ads. If not, you'll need to keep paying for all of your Amp usage. Why? Amp is growing very fast, but we need to slow down the growth because we're very busy building the next version of Amp. We want it to feel like the future of how you build software with agents. We'll be sprinting on this frontier with our early-adopter customers and community. To do that well, we need to spend less time on new-user support and keeping usage fair (fraud and abuse prevention), and more time on building the next Amp. When the next version of Amp is ready, you'll know, and we'll reopen Amp Free.

We're closing admission to Amp Free, for now.

If you already have Amp Free, you’re still in, for now. You'll keep getting $10/day in free usage, supported by ads. If not, you'll need to keep paying for all of your Amp usage.

Why? Amp is growing very fast, but we need to slow down the growth because we're very busy building the next version of Amp. We want it to feel like the future of how you build software with agents.

We'll be sprinting on this frontier with our early-adopter customers and community. To do that well, we need to spend less time on new-user support and keeping usage fair (fraud and abuse prevention), and more time on building the next Amp.

When the next version of Amp is ready, you'll know, and we'll reopen Amp Free.
