Bolt has released the first 48 hours of usage data from Bolt Forge, a mode within the Bolt AI app builder that allows users to run open-source models. The data reveals a breakdown of model usage shares: GLM 5.3 Flash captured 46% of prompts, followed by DeepSeek V4 Pro at 21%, GLM 5.3 at 17%, and Kimi K3 at 16%. Notably, GLM 5.3 Flash, described as the fastest and cheapest of the four models, not only captured the largest share of prompts but also received prompts that were, on average, twice the size of those for the other models.
