I actually think it's really fucking (ducking?) cool.
I'm not gonna lie: it actually changed my perception of AI chat engines.
I truly believe now that it CAN be very good as a technology if used (and sourced) ethically. ChatGPT is very problematic in this respect, but Claude—though limited as a result—seems like a good step in the right direction.
You realize "Claude" literally just using an API for ChatGPT 3.5 and using Bing is better because it's leveraging GPT version 4? GPT-4 is multi modal and significantly faster. And also DDG AI is just as intrusive as Bing AI in the shit that it is tracking from you.
ChatGPT [and] Claude ... all use different language models (LLMs) to process and respond to prompts ...
ChatGPT uses GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. If you're using the free version of ChatGPT, you'll be interacting with GPT-3.5. But if you're using ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI's paid chatbot version, you'll be interacting with GPT-4.

Claude, created by Anthropic, uses its most recent LLM version, Claude 2.1.
It literally says it when you first click on the fucking link OP provided:
DuckDuckGo AI Chat is a private AI-powered chat service that currently supports OpenAI’s GPT-3.5
Corollary:
Some key differences that should convince you Claude is useless and was only added by DDG to try to differentiate themselves but ended up being a weak attempt using other companies and sacrificing privacy:
Company: Claude is developed by Anthropic, while ChatGPT is developed by OpenAI.
AI Model: Claude has three versions: Claude 3 Haiku, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Opus. ChatGPT has different versions like GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4 Turbo.
Context Window: Claude can process up to 200,000 tokens (and up to 1,000,000 tokens for certain use cases), while ChatGPT can process up to 32,000 tokens.
Internet Access: ChatGPT has internet access, while Claude does not.
Image Generation: ChatGPT can generate images (DALL·E), while Claude cannot.
Supported Languages: Claude officially supports English, Japanese, Spanish, and French, but in testing, it supported even less common languages. ChatGPT supports 95+ languages.
API Pricing: Claude offers cheaper API access compared to ChatGPT.
Capabilities: ChatGPT is more versatile with features like image generation and internet access. Claude, on the other hand, offers a much larger context window, meaning it can process more data at once.
Useless. Unless you are dumb enough to trust the result without verifying it yourself. And if you do verify it, at that point you spend more time than just doing a regular search.
If they are using GPT-3.5 and Claude, that means that they are sending the chats to Open AI and Anthropic, right? How can they assure that the chats are private and not being used in training if they don’t control what other companies do?
Edit: ok, they claim to have agreements with them to delete chats within 30 days and they hide the user IP
I don't dislike DDG and I do use it, but goddamn I'd love to see a public audit of their privacy claims. DDG is closed source and they've only ever given Their Word ^TM^ about their claims. The privacy community puts a lot of faith in DDG despite not being able to test anything it says.
