What changed in Bolt May 2, 2026, released 2026-05-02 — explained in plain English.
TLDR
- You no longer have to pick specific AI models from a confusing list.
- Just choose between two "agents" (assistants): Standard for everyday coding and Max for tough problems.
- Bolt automatically picks the best AI brain to power your chosen agent behind the scenes.
- This release is all about making Bolt easier to use. Instead of forcing you to keep track of which AI model is best for your project, Bolt now simplifies things into two straightforward assistants. This matters to anyone who uses Bolt to build apps but doesn't want to stress over the technical details of AI versions.

What's new
- Two simple agents to choose from: You now pick between "Standard" and "Max" instead of choosing specific AI models. Standard is your go-to for everyday building, while Max is built to think deeply and solve complex, tricky tasks.
- Automatic model selection: You just pick the agent that fits your project, and Bolt figures out which underlying AI technology to use. You don't have to worry about model names or versions anymore.
Improvements
- Less decision fatigue: Bolt takes the guesswork out of choosing the right AI. By handling the tech details behind the scenes, Bolt makes it easier for you to just focus on building your app.
- Future-proofing: Because Bolt manages the AI models for you, it can seamlessly swap in newer, better technology as it becomes available without making you learn a new interface.
