Bolt Launches Forge: Free GLM/DeepSeek/Kimi Access with 50x Usage
Bolt.new (by StackBlitz) announced Bolt Forge around September 15, an experimental "open model lab" agent now live on bolt.new and free until October 14, offering up to 50x usage at zero fees and adding GLM, DeepSeek, and Kimi to its model selector. A research preview with Arcee AI lets eligible Bolt Pro users opt in, with anonymized real build sessions used to train and evaluate next-generation open-weight models — weswinder notes the goal is trillion-parameter-scale models.
Confirmed
- Bolt Forge is live on bolt.new, free until October 14, with up to 50x usage and zero fees
- GLM, DeepSeek, and Kimi added to the model selector
- Arcee AI research preview: starting September 14, one month, limited spots, opt-in for eligible Bolt Pro users; anonymized data trains next-gen open-weight models targeting trillion-parameter scale
Why it matters
- 50x usage sharply cuts quota costs for full-stack AI development; alifcoder notes users can go from prompt to deployed app without watching their quota
- Real development data training open-weight models could shape the next generation of open coding models
- The opt-in, anonymized data mechanism is a notable practice; HeyAmit shared a Forge workflow of building a rough version first, then iterating with different approaches
