How is the compute getting paid for?
DDG makes money through ads and affiliate programs.
Oh yeah I might have to tell ublock to whitelist ddg so I can support them through ads
This has been available for most of the year. What took any tech news org so long to even awknowledge its existence?
Couple good points in the comments -
Using LLMs to avoid the blank page problem:
For AI, bring your own data:
Anonymous or not, you’re still feeding it data
Not how that works.
Not really. Depending on the implementation.

But that’s a human error as you said, the only way to fix it is by using it correctly as an user. AI is a tool and it should be handled correctly like any other tool, be it a knife, a car, a password manager, a video recording program, a bank app or whatever.
I think a bigger issue here is that many people don’t care about their personal information as much as their lives.

your conversations are not used to train chat models by DuckDuckGo or the underlying model providers
This is pretty cool, I have been using this chats with Claude and ChatGPT on DDGO since several weeks ago. I guess the new aspect is they incorporated more models like Mistral.
