One week of open models on Bolt Forge. The pattern is obvious.
GLM 5.3 Flash: 63%
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash: 17%
Two Flash models. 80% of all prompts.
The bigger models were right there in the picker. Builders chose fast, and kept choosing it.
$9/month: bolt.new/lite

You can talk to Bolt now 🎤
Hold the mic and describe your app out loud: the name, the colors, the layout. Bolt plans it, builds it, and publishes it while you're still holding your coffee.

1. Activate the Select tool
2. Select text blocks, nav bars, or buttons in the preview
3. Edit the elements directly on the canvas
4. Press “Save changes” to implement batched changes
Faster to describe the change in words? Use the prompt box to edit the element instead.
