- Opt-in preview; promotional allowance ends October 14.
What changed
Bolt introduced Forge as a research-preview agent within its app-building platform. Individual Pro users receive a promotional allowance described as up to 50 times more usage through October 14. Entering Forge requires consent to share anonymized building sessions for open-weight model training with Arcee AI. Teams and Enterprise workspaces are excluded.
Why it matters
The arrangement makes training-data contribution part of the product's access model. Users evaluating it need to consider both the additional experimentation allowance and whether their project material is appropriate to contribute to that process.
What remains unproven
Bolt says it strips secrets and personal information before transfer, but this source supplies no independent privacy audit. Its performance comparison uses an internal benchmark. The company itself describes the models as experimental, leaving dependable production performance unproven.
