Amp released a new mode called 'rush' that is 67% cheaper and 50% faster than smart mode token-by-token, but less capable. It is designed for small, well-defined tasks and uses Haiku 4.5 as the underlying model.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://ampcode.com/news/rush-mode:

> Amp has a new mode: rush , named so because a rushed job is faster and cheaper in the moment, and sometimes that's more important than quality. Token-by-token, it's 67% cheaper and 50% faster than smart .
