SummaryAmp introduced a Plaid speed option for modes using GPT-6 Astra, offering inference up to 6x faster at 6x the per-token cost. Users enable it via the mode picker by moving the speed switch past Fast. Subagents and non-Plaid models fall back to fast or standard speed when Plaid is active.
Why it mattersConcrete speed-vs-cost toggle in Amp, with the exact steps and subagent fall-back behavior spelled out. Useful for timing-sensitive coding sessions if the cost math works.
