Introduction

This video demonstrates how to use Bolt.new for free with local LLMs, circumventing rate limits. The presenter, Cole Medin, introduces oTToDev (a Bolt.new fork) and provides tips and tricks for building applications using smaller, local LLMs like Qwen-2.5-coder-7B. He also teases a future live stream showcasing an app built with 25 different LLMs.

Key Takeaways

• Using oTToDev with Local LLMs: oTToDev allows the use of local LLMs in Bolt.new, avoiding costs and rate limits associated with cloud-based models.
• Fixing Ollama Context Length Issues: A common problem with Ollama models is insufficient context length for Bolt.new prompts. This can be resolved by creating a modified model with an increased context length using a simple configuration file.
• Efficient App Development Strategy: Start with a simple application and iteratively add complexity, minimizing potential issues and hallucinations. This approach works well with both local and larger LLMs.
• DeepSeek Coder Recommendation: For a cost-effective and powerful open-source alternative to cloud LLMs, DeepSeek Coder v2 is recommended due to its affordability and performance.
• Live Stream Announcement: A live stream is announced where Cole Medin will build an application using 25 different LLMs.
