{"slug": "a-dial-for-you", "title": "A Dial for You", "summary": "Amp changed its Dial feature so that linking a ChatGPT subscription routes all low, medium, and high modes exclusively to OpenAI models billed to the subscription, eliminating credit charges for those modes. Low now runs GPT-5.6 Terra instead of GLM-5.2, high runs GPT-5.6 Sol as both agent and oracle instead of Claude Fable, and high drops its credit minimum. Ultra remains unchanged, running Claude Fable on credits.", "body_md": "We changed [the Dial](/news/the-dial). [Link a ChatGPT subscription](/settings/model-providers?add=chatgpt-sub) and `low`\n\n, `medium`\n\n, and `high`\n\nonly use OpenAI models: as the main agent, as the oracle, as the thread reader, as code review. Every model behind those modes is an OpenAI model, billed to your subscription.\n\nBefore this change, you'd still pay for tokens with a subscription linked, because parts of the work ran on other models: `low`\n\nand the thread reader on GLM-5.2, the `high`\n\noracle on Claude Fable, code review on Haiku — all billed to Amp credits. That confused people, and we get why.\n\nWith a subscription connected:\n\n`low`\n\nruns GPT-5.6 Terra instead of GLM-5.2.`medium`\n\nruns GPT-5.6 Sol, as before.`high`\n\nruns GPT-5.6 Sol as both agent and oracle. The oracle used to be Fable.Doesn't this make the modes worse? Barely, and less every month. [The frontier models have converged](/news/who-cares-about-the-model): any of them gets you to a good result with a good harness. We swapped the default model for most users overnight and nobody complained. So the modes stay at the frontier, and the tokens come out of a subscription you already pay for.\n\n`high`\n\nalso drops its credit minimum when your subscription is active. There's no Fable call left to pay for.\n\n`ultra`\n\ndoesn't change. It runs Claude Fable on credits, because `ultra`\n\nis for the tasks where you want the strongest model, whatever it costs.\n\nIf you don't have a subscription, nothing changes. The modes run as before, on Amp credits.\n\n[Link your subscription](/settings/model-providers?add=chatgpt-sub) and turn the dial.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-dial-for-you", "canonical_source": "https://ampcode.com/news/a-dial-for-you", "published_at": "2026-08-10 00:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-10 07:35:23.414190+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Amp", "OpenAI", "ChatGPT", "GPT-5.6 Terra", "GPT-5.6 Sol", "GLM-5.2", "Claude Fable"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-dial-for-you", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-dial-for-you.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-dial-for-you.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/a-dial-for-you.jsonld"}}
