How to use ChatGPT, Claude 3 Haiku, Meta Ai, and Mistral for free with DuckDuckGo AI Chat
DuckDuckGo, the privacy-focused search engine, has unveiled a new feature known as DuckDuckGo AI Chat. This tool allows users to engage with popular AI chatbots like OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 Turbo and Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku anonymously. Unlike other platforms, DuckDuckGo prioritizes user privacy, ensuring that all chats are conducted anonymously and not utilized for AI model training.
Private and Anonymous Interaction
With DuckDuckGo AI Chat, users can interact with AI chatbots in a private and anonymous manner. The platform currently supports OpenAI’s GPT 3.5 Turbo, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku, as well as two open-source models: Meta Llama 3 and Mistral’s Mixtral 8x7B. Additional models are set to be included in the future. This feature is available for free within a daily usage limit and can be easily disabled if needed.
“Our goal is to demonstrate that safeguarding your online privacy can be simple,” states DuckDuckGo in a recent press release. “We believe individuals should have the ability to utilize the internet and digital tools without compromising their privacy.”
One of the standout attributes of DuckDuckGo AI Chat is its unwavering commitment to privacy. Conversations are completely anonymized, preventing any possibility of tracing them back to specific users. DuckDuckGo achieves this by eliminating users’ IP addresses and utilizing their own instead. Moreover, DuckDuckGo does not retain or archive any chat data. While model providers may temporarily store chats for functionality purposes, this information is not linked to personal data and is deleted within 30 days.
Seamless Integration
DuckDuckGo AI Chat seamlessly integrates with DuckDuckGo Private Search. Users can switch between conventional search and AI Chat by selecting the Chat tab below the search bar. This flexibility enables users to initiate a search with AI Chat, obtain initial responses, and then proceed with conventional searches for more comprehensive information. Similarly, users can switch to AI Chat for prompt answers or to delve into a new subject.
Getting Started
To utilize DuckDuckGo AI Chat, visit duck.ai, duckduckgo.com/chat, or utilize the Chat tab on search results pages. Users can also commence a chat by employing the !ai or !chat bang shortcuts. If AI Chat is not preferred, it can be readily disabled in the search settings menu.
The corporation intends to introduce additional chat models and browser entry points. Furthermore, they are contemplating a premium plan that would provide higher daily usage limits and access to more advanced models. User feedback plays a pivotal role in these advancements, and DuckDuckGo encourages users to share their experiences and suggestions.
