bolt.diy

bolt.diy represents the open-source, "do-it-yourself" fork of the vibe coding movement. It is an open-source platform for AI-powered full-stack web development, positioned as the free, self-hostable alternative to commercial platforms like Bolt.new. Its core philosophy is developer control and flexibility, running directly in the browser or as an Electron desktop app. The platform's primary differentiator is its model-agnostic architecture. Unlike closed-source tools that lock users into specific models, bolt.diy is built for flexibility, allowing users to connect to a wide array of LLMs. This includes commercial models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google (Gemini), as well as open-source and local models via Ollama.
