Amp's team argues that a 200k token context window is sufficient for coding, because short threads produce better results and cost less than long ones. The post describes how the team breaks features into small, single-task threads and shares context between them using thread mentions.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://ampcode.com/200k-tokens-is-plenty:

> Opus 4.5 came out a few weeks ago and quickly became not only Amp’s main model, but also universally respected as the best model for coding — while having a context window of roughly 200k tokens.
