🎉 Quack quack! Hold onto your feathers, because DuckDuckGo has just hatched a shiny new platform for AI chatbot interactions that’s more secure than Fort Knox! Introducing Duck.ai, your new one-stop shop for chatting with the smartest AI out there—all while keeping your data snug and safe.
This ducky service is globally available and flaunts a light, clean interface that’s easier to navigate than a rubber duck in a bathtub. Users can pick from four AI models: two are closed-source, namely OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 Turbo and Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku, and the other two are open-source, Meta’s Llama-3 70B and Mistral AI’s Mixtral 8x7b.
But here’s where it gets really quacktastic: DuckDuckGo AI Chat is like the secret service of chatbots. No one—neither DuckDuckGo nor the AI model providers—can use your data to train their models. Your chats are wrapped up tighter than a duck in winter! They even strip away metadata like server or IP addresses, so it looks like your queries are coming from DuckDuckGo HQ rather than your cozy little nest.
Plus, DuckDuckGo has made sure that any saved chats are deleted within 30 days and cannot be used to train or improve the models. Keeping your quacks private is now easier than changing the privacy settings on each service!
In an age where everyone seems to be gobbling up data faster than a duck on a June bug, DuckDuckGo’s AI Chat is a breath of fresh air. They’re answering the growing squawks about data privacy and setting a new standard by giving users a private and anonymous way to interact with AI.
The service is free to use within daily limits, but there’s talk of a paid tier to make those limits fly away. It’s designed to work hand-in-wing with DuckDuckGo’s search engine, letting users switch between search and AI chat like a duck seamlessly switching between water and land.
As DuckDuckGo explained, “We view AI Chat and search as two different but powerful tools to help you find what you’re looking for – especially when you’re exploring a new topic. You might be shopping or doing research for a project and are unsure how to get started. In situations like these, either AI Chat or Search could be good starting points.”
Whether you start with AI Chat to get your feet wet or dive into Search first, the tools are there to help you navigate your queries like a pro.
And here’s a little joke to wrap things up: Why did the duck go to Duck.ai? To get its quacks privately! 😂
So, go ahead, give DuckDuckGo AI Chat a whirl. Your data’s as safe as a duck in a pond!
