We calculate the microstates free entropy dimension of natural generators in an amalgamated free product of certain von Neumann algebras, with amalgamation over a hyperfinite subalgebra. In particular, some ‘exotic’ Popa algebra generators of free group factors are shown to have the expected free entropy dimension. We also show that microstates and non‐microstates free entropy dimension agree for generating sets of many groups. In the appendix, the first L 2 ‐Betti number for certain amalgamated free products of groups is calculated.
