A separate coding-agent company
Amp builds an AI coding agent used through terminal and editor workflows. Its manual describes an agent that works with code and tools, while its current license agreement names Amp Frontier Corporation as the provider. The company is an agent developer and operator; the models it uses remain distinct from the Amp business. [2][1]
Amp announced its separation from Sourcegraph on December 2, 2025. Its announcement described operating as its own company and research lab. Sourcegraph's current support documentation corroborates that Amp is independent, with its own development and support teams. [3][4]
That boundary matters when reading the product's history. Sourcegraph supplied the original organizational setting, but current Amp activity should resolve to Amp's own record. Shared founders or investors do not by themselves establish a parent relationship between the two companies. [3][4]
