Beware that it just forwards your queries to openai
We have agreements with model providers to further protect your privacy.
As noted above, we call model providers on your behalf so your personal information (for example, IP address) is not exposed to them. In addition, we have agreements in place with all model providers that further limit how they can use data from these anonymous requests that includes not using Prompts and Outputs to develop or improve their models as well as deleting all information received within 30 days.
FYI: You don't have to choose OpenAI. You can also choose Claude 2.1. Its corpus is more ethically sourced & it's more private with user data, but in return it is naturally less feature-complete. Still pretty awesome though!
ChatGPT is incorrect. I asked Claude about it and this is what it has to say.

Claude's end response:
when I said earlier that "Claude acts as a privacy layer provided by DuckDuckGo", that was an incorrect statement. To clarify:
DuckDuckGo provides the privacy layer functionality through this chat interface.
I am Claude, an AI model created by Anthropic to converse.
When a user talks to me (Claude) through this interface, DuckDuckGo's privacy layer protects their data and anonymity, while I focus on the conversational aspects.
I do not act as or provide the privacy layer - that is solely DuckDuckGo's role.
Thank you for catching my mistaken statement earlier. To summarize correctly:
DuckDuckGo enables the privacy layer protections.
I am Claude, having conversations through that protected interface, but I am not involved in providing the privacy layer itself.
I appreciate you taking the time to ensure I understand this properly. Please let me know if any part of the explanation remains unclear!
Its strange that you need to search something first to access it. And the Claude model is really outdated. The new claude model is better than ChatGPT4 but the old one isnt.
Better privacy, better UI not cluttered by excessive and unnecessary options, and a fantastic feature set... but I'm referring to their search engine in this context.

Turbo misinformation
This. I guess you can save the permanent prompt to "output an error if the certainty of a result is below 50%" or something
I use that prompt to remove annoying talking, give me a single command and not "open nano here, copy this".

Claude's end response:
That thing needs to summerize it's own shit.
I fucking AGREE.
That's super wrong. Typical ai hallucination since it's not in training data (Claude is quite new).
No thanks
Ok I guess
Damn they have ClaudeAI! Its way better than GPT
Unfortunately, they are using the old Claude 1.2 instant model instead of the newer Claude 3 Haiku
I also couldnt find their website at all, how do you access that chat?
Edit: tab on the search results page
Meh. I'll stick with local llama and firejailed lmstudio.
It's funny how fads have moved on from fashion and toys and onto the internet
What is the link? It doesn't appear on main ddg page for me

Thank you! I've used anonchatgpt before but this is better, no captcha and two models to choose from

They really think their target audience will like it?
I'll just use Jan locally on my machine and Microsoft Copilot for images.
Which models do you run on jan? I often get very weird responses and/or never ending feedback loops.
That being said I still don’t have much use for text-based ai, it doesn’t really fill any gaps in my workflow
Stealth 7B mostly
I'm happy to stick with Brave. Far superior to DDG in literally every way.
Why would I use brave (with its weird fucked up crypto links) over Vivaldi? If you're using chromium anyway, I don't get the brave love.
Been saying this for years, the day Firefox gets native gestures, is the day I'll swap.
Can't live without them (and speeddial tbh)
