DuckDuckGo, a search company, introduced a free and anonymous AI Chat service in June 2024. AI Chat is a platform that allows users to interact with large language models without compromising their privacy. This service operates similarly to other AI chat systems like ChatGPT and Gemini.

Model Selection

As of September 2024, AI Chat offers four chat models for users to choose from:

  • GPT-4o mini from OpenAI.
  • Claude 3 Haiku from Anthropic.
  • Llama 3.1 70B, an open-source model from Meta.
  • Mixtral 8x7B, an open-source model from Mistral AI.

Users can switch between these models at any time to compare responses, providing a simple and free way to engage with different large language models anonymously.

Getting Started with DuckDuckGo AI Chat

To begin using DuckDuckGo AI Chat, follow these steps:

  1. Visit duck.ai or duckduckgo.com/chat and click on the Get Started button.

Accessing AI Chat with Search or Bangs

Users can access AI Chat directly from a search results page by selecting the Chat menu item. Additionally, DuckDuckGo offers shortcuts, known as bangs, such as !ai and !chat, to redirect searches to the AI Chat system.

AI Chat Choices: Copy, Change, Clear, or Continue

AI Chat provides users with options to copy responses, switch models, clear conversations, or continue with follow-up questions. These features allow for a more interactive and personalized chat experience.

Limitations and Alternatives

While AI Chat offers a unique way to interact with language models, it has limitations in accessing real-time internet content. Users seeking alternatives can explore other AI chat systems like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, and Llama, or opt for paid versions for advanced features.
