I'm gonna tell you a life hack.

- go to duckduckgo
- open their AI chat thing
- choose one of 4 models (got 4o mini is great)
- chat with that thang

Free. No tracking. No accounts. Open source models included. Did I say free? And no accounts.

I have an OpenAI account but this is the only thing I've been using for a few weeks. Privacy feels great.

You can use the BEST models in the world (Claude, GPT4o) on PPQ.AI for pennies via Lightning. No accounts, no subscriptions, pay-per-use.

I’m concerned with the files or information that I need to upload. Even if the ip is anonymous the files are still intentifiers

Great tip I tested it out but came across this limitation "I don't have the ability to browse the internet in real-time or provide specific links. " Still awesome from free / data privacy point of view

It is great

Tried it. Ok, cool... for LLMs. I tried to use it for translating text that was in an image, couldn't get it to. Ended up using translate.google.com to get the job done.

And while you are there .. do install their privacy extension for browser .. plus ..ddgr if you are into searching the web from terminal ..

Yeah I’ve used it, but I’m highly skeptical there’s no tracking.

Ok this is gold, thanks. I'm using deep infra with anythingllm to have open source models but it's nice to now have it all in one place in a form of a web app.

This great. I also have a Venice.ai account, which I like and is inexpensive, but free is better!

if it's free, you're the product.
