Bolt.new delays AI-training start to Oct 7, 2026 and re-words Forge and notice terms
The AI model-development and dataset-licensing section, with its opt-out, de-identification and Forge consent rules, was already in the previous version. This update moves the start date from September 29 to October 7, 2026 (or later, when the Terms take effect for your account). Older content that you later submit to Bolt AI Features on or after that date becomes eligible, and Forge content from September 14 stays eligible if you have consented. Forge is now described as a usage allotment or plan access rather than a $16 lower price, and notice of new uses may be given by email or in the Services, not both.
