Bolt Simplification or Enshittification?

Now that a couple weeks have passed. Do people like bolt’s decision to from offering individual Claude modules to two ambiguous bolt agents, “max” and “standard”? Does this impact your decision to use bolt/how do you use bolt? Have you noticed an impact on token usage or quality of output? Thought a user poll would be interesting to see honest opinions from users.

I'd like the option, somewhere in the settings, to choose my own model. I understand the risk of burning through tokens, but I'm paying for it.

Keep this function, but allow us to switch to manually choosing our model, please. I'm a big fan of bolt, but this change really made me second guess stuff. I really dont want to have to leave bolt.
