Register Spill·medium signal

In his May 10 newsletter, Thorsten Ball announced Amp Neo, a ground-up rebuild of the Amp coding tool. Key additions: remote controllability, first-class plugin support, compaction for efficiency, and significant speed improvements. Ball noted the team 'spent the whole week scaling this system for the demand,' suggesting strong adoption. This represents another entry in the rapidly expanding AI coding tool landscape alongside Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and now Grok Build.
