​
Runtimes & Model Providers

​
Bolt.DIY Runtime

Uses WebContainers, a browser-based Node.js environment. This provides instant sandboxed execution but may not fully support native npm modules. For more details, visit WebContainers.

​
CodinIT.dev Runtime

Runs directly on your local Node.js environment. This ensures better performance and full compatibility with native modules. Learn more at Node.js.

​
Model Providers

Both platforms support popular providers like OpenAI and Hugging Face, with goals toward model-agnostic architectures. Consult each project’s README for configuration details and API key setup.
