Amp Opens Orbs Self-hosting: free for individuals; Enterprise Edition requires users to provide their own compute and still pay fees
Beating AI Flash News,AI coding tool Amp has opened up Orbs self-hosting.Orbs is a development environment for AI Agent working independently, and was previously run primarily in Amp's cloud. Users can now deploy it on their own Mac,Docker containers, or Kubernetes clusters; it also supports E2B, Modal, Vercel, and other sandbox platforms. Amp handles orchestration, while the user's own machines execute tasks. Environments can also be created, paused, and resumed as needed.
Individuals and regular teams can use self-hosted Orbs for free, but must still bear their own compute and model costs. Enterprise Edition starts at October 29; in addition to providing their own servers, users must pay according to the same compute standards as Amp's officially hosted Orbs.

Key points
01
AI Coding tool Amp has opened up Orbs self-hosting.
02
Orbs is a development environment for AI Agent working independently, and was previously run primarily in Amp's cloud.

05
Individuals and regular teams can use self-hosted Orbs for free, but must still bear their own compute and model costs.
06
The report claims that Enterprise Edition, starting at October 29, requires users to provide their own servers and pay according to the same compute standards as Amp's officially hosted Orbs.
AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Self-hosting means that Orbs's tasks no longer have to run exclusively in Amp's cloud; users can have their own devices, containers, clusters, or the listed sandbox platforms execute them. Individuals and regular teams are exempt from the usage fee for self-hosted Orbs, but this does not mean there is no overall cost, as compute and model costs are still borne by users.
Why it matters to readers
This expands the deployment options for Orbs and clearly distinguishes the fee arrangements for individuals and regular teams from those for Enterprise Edition.
Beginners should note that “free self-hosting” does not mean free operation; using AI Agent may still incur machine compute and model costs.
Risks and unknowns
The material does not provide an official Amp announcement or pricing details, so the relevant features and fee arrangements cannot be independently verified from the original evidence.
“October 29” does not specify a year.
The specific billing method and amount for the Enterprise Edition's “same compute standards” are not stated.
The scope of eligibility for individuals and regular teams is not stated.
