DuckDuckGo offers "anonymous" access to AI chatbots through new service

DDG offers LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Mistral for factually-iffy conversations.

On Thursday, DuckDuckGo unveiled a new " AI Chat" service that allows users to converse with four mid-range large language models (LLMs) from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Mistral in an interface similar to ChatGPT while attempting to preserve privacy and anonymity. While the AI models involved can output inaccurate information readily, the site allows users to test different mid-range LLMs without having to install anything or sign up for an account. DuckDuckGo's AI Chat currently features access to OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo, Anthropic's Claude 3 Haiku, and two open source models, Meta's Llama 3 and Mistral's Mixtral 8x7B.
