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
Mistral is my favorite model
Mine too
Looks like Mistral was trained more on proven academic data and less on Facebook posts. This does make it a bit less variable in answers, but at least it says very little bullshit.
