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 introduced a new a1.medium orb size (4 CPUs, 8GB, $0.33/hour), cut auto-pause from 15 to 5 minutes, sped up startup, and added per-thread orb size selection via a new --orb-size CLI flag. Prices fell or held across all tiers; existing projects were auto-upgraded.

Concrete pricing table and per-thread sizing flag give readers immediate levers to cut agent compute spend without switching tools.
