Brief
Quinn Slack (@sqs) announced on 2026-04-28 that Amp supports OpenAI GPT-5.5 in deep mode via a settings change at ~/.config/amp/settings.json and will become the default soon. He warns that OpenAI's Safety Retention Policy currently causes non-zero data retention (~0.05%) for inputs flagged as severe cybersecurity abuse risk and is negotiating to lift it.
Why it matters
Quinn Slack (@sqs) on 2026-04-28: Amp can use OpenAI GPT-5.5 in deep mode by adding to ~/.config/amp/settings.json: { "amp.internal.model": { "deep": "openai:gpt-5.5" } }; this will be the default soon.
Key details
- Currently GPT-5.5 usage in Amp triggers OpenAI's Safety Retention Policy: OpenAI may retain data in a non-zero subset of cases (~0.05%) when their classifier flags inputs as severe cybersecurity abuse risk; Slack is negotiating with OpenAI to remove this requirement and notes it likely applies to other agents as well.
