The service hides the user's IP address by sending requests through its servers.

The DuckDuckGo search engine, known for its commitment to user privacy, has launched a new feature - DuckDuckGo AI Chat . This is a free service that allows you to communicate with several popular chatbots based on artificial intelligence, while maintaining complete anonymity.

DuckDuckGo AI Chat provides users with access to the following models: GPT-3.5 Turbo from OpenAI, Claude 3 Haiku from Anthropic, as well as two open source models-Meta Llama 3 and Mixtral 8x7B. Users can choose their preferred model and start a dialog. The company promises to expand the list of available chatbots in the future.

DuckDuckGo emphasizes that all communication in AI Chat is completely anonymous. Unlike most similar services, the user's IP address is hidden, and requests to artificial intelligence models are sent from the DuckDuckGo IP address. Thus, model providers are not able to identify users.

In addition, DuckDuckGo does not store the history of correspondence. Chatbot developers can temporarily save chats to ensure system health, but all information is depersonalized and must be deleted within 30 days. According to the agreements with DuckDuckGo, this data cannot be used for training or improving the models themselves.

According to representatives of DuckDuckGo, the new feature is designed to allay user concerns about privacy when using artificial intelligence. Many people are concerned that their personal data may be used without their consent. DuckDuckGo AI Chat offers a secure way to interact with cutting-edge artificial intelligence models.

DuckDuckGo AI Chat allows users not only to communicate with chatbots, but also to get practical help from them. For example, you can use AI Chat to create emails, write code, plan trips, and much more.

DuckDuckGo AI Chat is currently in beta testing, and the developers plan to develop it further. The service remains free within the daily limits, with the option of a paid plan for more intensive use and access to more advanced models. In the future, we plan to add new features, such as customizable system prompts, and expand the list of available chat models.
