Bolt Introduces Opus 4.6 with Variable Reasoning Effort

Bolt.new has added support for Anthropic's Opus 4.6 model across its builder environments. Builders can now select variable effort settings to calibrate reasoning depth, balancing build velocity against token cost and code quality.

Why it matters: Builders can dial in high-depth reasoning for complex full-stack architecture while saving tokens on standard UI iterations.
