Pipeline notes

The summary and note below are generated by the signal pipeline — they are Beyond Desk’s reading, not quotations from the source.

Amp replaces its four named agent modes (smart, deep, rush, large) with a capability dial (low, medium, high, ultra), each mapped to a specific model and reasoning effort. The change reflects model convergence: users only need to judge task difficulty, not model character.

First-party disclosure of the exact model-and-reasoning wiring behind each dial setting, plus the framing that capability-versus-cost is now the only meaningful question for routing work.
