so, about a month ago i stumbled upon the duckduckgo ai chat feature and wrote an article about how private their APIs are, and a few weeks after, a CLI client.
the thing is in a pretty mature stage now (its not like there is a lot of work to be done there tbh)
its not super private, but it is “private enough”. the only thing duckduckgo has is your IP, which is usually not much unless you are on a residential connection with a dedicated IP
After enjoying the very local power of Ollama it seems weird to give OpenAI any money.
I don’t need artificial intelligence in my terminal. Do you know how many times some troll has posted about “rm -fr /” on Reddit and other shitty forums, which then gets gobbled up and laundered by LLMs? Not letting that anywhere near my prod servers with valuable data.

Ironically, that now includes you 🙂
Just a PSA to anyone who looks here: with DDG, ChatGPT is not your only option. You can choose to use Claude instead, if you wish.
And recently Llama3 and Mixtral!
Llama3 isn’t free
