What you can do with it
DuckDuckGo's chat service offers a selection of third-party models through one simple interface. It anonymizes conversations and stores recent chats locally on your device, making it convenient for quick questions, summaries, and drafting. You can compare available models without a separate provider account, although free access has a daily cap.
What’s included for free
Free use has a daily usage limit. Selected Claude, Mistral, GPT, gpt-oss, and Gemma models are included; paid DuckDuckGo plans add models and higher limits.
Access can depend on your region, account, and the provider’s current terms.
Available models
Model availability can differ by plan and change over time.
