Amp Code Review 2026: Sourcegraph's Autonomous Coding Agent Tested
Amp Code Review 2026: Sourcegraph’s Autonomous Agent Explained Sourcegraph’s Amp has crossed a threshold that most AI coding tools are still approaching: it operates as a genuinely autonomous agent, not a glorified autocomplete engine. Within the first two months of 2026, over 40,000 development teams adopted Amp as their primary agentic coding workflow — a growth rate that puts it firmly in the same conversation as Cursor and Claude Code. Amp plans multi-step tasks, edits files across your entire codebase, runs tests, interprets output, and iterates — without requiring you to break down every instruction into atomic prompts. Built on the foundation Sourcegraph developed for enterprise code intelligence, Amp ships as both a VS Code extension and a standalone CLI, giving developers full flexibility over where and how they work. The 200K token context window means Amp can hold an entire service’s worth of code in working memory simultaneously, which matters enormously once you start tackling refactors that span dozens of files. This review tests Amp’s real capabilities in 2026: what it does well, where it still has rough edges, and who should actually be using it. ...
