Could you build this?
No Bolt Forge involves proprietary full-stack web container execution (WebContainers/cloud sandbox), fine-tuned open-source coding models, and massive agentic orchestration at scale.
What it would actually take: Requires running and serving fine-tuned open-weights models (like DeepSeek or Qwen) with low-latency inference clusters (vLLM/TensorRT-LLM) paired with an in-browser or sandboxed Linux microVM execution layer (like WebContainers/Firecracker). It also requires extensive agent evaluation harnesses, custom prompt/tool engineering, and significant GPU infrastructure investment.
