It's time to accelerate open weight models to the frontier. And bring abundant tokens to all. Today we launch Forge in partnership with Arcee, Microsoft, Vercel, Fireworks, and DigitalOcean:

Had similar thought after playing w/ Jev Extremely early days ofc, but these types of purpose built (& insanely cheap) models will likely eat into frontier share to some degree Do frontiers embrace and compete? Or innovators dilemma?

Week one of open models on Bolt: builders picked the fastest one, by a landslide. Today: we're adding the one beta users say makes the best-looking sites. DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, now in Bolt Forge. 10x the usage of DeepSeek V4 Pro. bolt.new/lite

This matches my own anecdotal preferences/findings GLM 5.3 flash is one of (if not the) best models for price & intelligence, esp wrt agentic coding tasks

Gen AI seems to have better core values than Gen X, Y, and Z combined

Yeah, so this is pretty incredible. I can now just use Bolt's open-model lab and generate a new home page hero image *without* spending any of my premium tokens. Fantastic. Quick test worked perfectly.

Team working around the clock to open up more access to Forge 🫡

JENSEN HUANG: “If you build a product or a service and you're not confident in its functionality, capability, or safety, then don't release it … The market forces are already there. We don't need any new laws. We don't need new regulations.”

A Tale of Two Labs It was the best of times (dank AI memes), It was the worst of times (AI pacing)

As the first publicly disclosed agent cyberattack victim, we've had a front-row seat to this new risk. I formalized my thinking about it below. I'll be in DC tomorrow to share more with policymakers and at decoded summit by @politico!

The US is now highly profitable if you take out the previous $40t of debt and remove the $7.35b added every day

We're partnering with @boltdotnew on Forge, a new initiative to help train our next-generation open models using real-world development data. Starting today, eligible Bolt Pro users who opt in get 50x more usage across top open-weight models, including DeepSeek-v4-Pro, GLM-5.3, and Kimi-K3 with no daily caps. In exchange, anonymized build sessions will directly inform Arcee's model training and evaluations. Once the training wraps up, these models will be released with weights published and freely available to the public. Learn more: arcee.ai/blog/arcee-partners…

I only have one thing to say to the AI Doomers: Pace deez open weights

Introducing Bolt Forge. Free until Oct 14th: - Up to 50x more usage - The new frontier: GLM, DeepSeek, Kimi - Zero usage charges Live now in your model picker on bolt.new And one more thing... 👇

First time I’ve seen this one Chinese chain of thought in official Claude app, Fable 5.1 Reminds me of my friend GLM 5.3 flash, he thinks in Chinese a lot too

1) AI will not eradicate humanity. Humans survived an ice age, the Black Death, two world wars, and (so far) the advent of nuclear weapons. Anyone who is loudly warning of AI-caused human extinction should not be taken seriously. 2) If you worked in a company where you anticipated a 10% chance that your product would kill ten people, let alone all people, the correct response would be horror, ceasing all operations, and likely contacting the police or other criminal authorities. I am obviously no Coxon booster but at least his behavior is in line with his stated beliefs. Any current AI company employees saying "yes, me too, the thing we are building and about to IPO may kill all humans" should, again, not be taken seriously. Their actions betray their actual beliefs. 3) Antitrust law does not prevent AI companies from coordinating to make sure AI does not hurt people. It does not prevent companies working together to make sure it doesn't hack people; the DOJ and FTC made this clear a decade ago when they issued a policy statement saying that the agencies "do not believe that antitrust is – or should be – a roadblock to legitimate cybersecurity information sharing." The same principles apply here. See: justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/… 4) Antitrust law does absolutely prevent AI companies from organizing to prevent the entry of cheaper, upstart rivals because the bigger companies are burning cash and failing to achieve sufficient profitability. The panic of individual employees may be sincere if misguided, but the moves by their CEOs to achieve some kind of broad "antitrust waiver" or "exemption" should be meet with deep skepticism in light of the economics of the industry and the threat they face from open models.
