Bolt Forge Pro preview: up to 50x usage through October 14, with $9/month Bolt Lite waitlist
Bolt.new's Bolt Forge preview gives personal Pro users up to about 50 times the usual usage through October 14, 2026. Bolt Lite is available for a $9/month waitlist and includes Forge usage for users who receive an access code.
The briefing
Bolt.new has launched the open-model agent Bolt Forge and a lower-cost Bolt Lite plan.
Pro users: up to about 50x Forge usage through October 14
If you already have a personal Pro plan, open the Agent selector, switch to Bolt Forge, and accept the prompt. The official preview runs through 2026-10-14 and provides up to roughly 50x the usual Forge usage, separately from Standard / Max allowances.
The preview has listed models such as GLM 5.3 Flash, GLM 5.3, Kimi K3, and DeepSeek V4 Pro. Bolt positions the open models for drafts and experimentation; use Standard / Max for production work. Teams and Enterprise are excluded from this preview.
When you opt in to Forge, Bolt may use a de-identified build process to help Arcee AI train an open model. Declining keeps the existing Agent experience.
Official explanation: What is Bolt Forge?.
Bolt Lite waitlist: $9/month
Bolt Lite is the new Forge-focused plan listed at $9/month, with about 50x the free-tier usage. Join the Bolt Lite waitlist; an access code is sent by email.
The 2026-10-14 date is both the end of the Pro Forge preview promotion and the waitlist deadline stated in the source. Lite is a monthly plan, not a one-time lifetime purchase. Forge is primarily an in-product allowance, not a general-purpose API quota.
