Every AI content creator and their mom has put out a video on Bolt.new. It makes sense Bolt.new it's an incredible open source platform to build full stack apps with AI. So I've done something way different with it that you WON'T see anywhere else.

I forked Bolt.new and made it way better by fixing the two problems I have with the platform: it costs too much (and those annoying token limits) and you can only ever use one LLM.

In this video, I show you how I've extended Bolt.new so you can run it locally with practically ANY LLM you could dream of using. This includes local models with Ollama (some finetuned for coding!), so you can run your own model and use Bolt.new completely for FREE with unlimited usage.

This is available for you to download and use below right now! My gift to you :)

Let me be clear, Bolt.new is open source so running it locally isn't new but being able to use more that just Claude is new with this fork and that is what allows you to use the platform for free, forever.

Here is the link to my forked version of Bolt.new ready for you to run locally and use LLMs from Ollama, Anthropic, GPT, or Groq!

Install Ollama to run any local LLM you could dream of as an AI coding assistant for free:

Note that this setup assumes you have Ollama hosted on the default port on your computer (http://localhost:11434).

If you want to extend the providers available in this version of Bolt.new, here is the documentation from the Vercel AI SDK I referenced in the video:

Artificial Intelligence is no doubt the future of not just software development but the whole world. And I'm on a mission to master it focusing first on mastering AI Agents.

Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI. I'll be uploading videos three times a week Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7:00 PM CDT! Sundays and Wednesdays are for everything AI, Fridays are specifically for platform showcases (sometimes sponsored, always creative in approach!).
