Privacy-focused consumer tech company DuckDuckGo launched a subscription plan last year that bundled a VPN service, personal information removal, and identity theft restoration. The company said Thursday that the subscription now gives users access to the latest AI models through Duck.ai without paying extra.

The Duck.ai chatbot is free to use, and users get access to models like Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Haiku, Meta’s Llama 4 Scout, Mistral AI’s Mistral Small 3 24B, and OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini.

With DuckDuckGo’s $9.99 per month plan, users will be able to access newer models, including OpenAI’s GPT-4o and GPT-5, Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4, and Meta’s Llama Maverick.

“These bigger models are better at following detailed instructions, maintaining context through extended chats, and delivering deeper, more nuanced responses. The DuckDuckGo subscription offers a way to use some of these models, but with more privacy,” the company said in a post.

This is a good opportunity for those who want to access the latest models without sticking to a single provider. Alternatively, Quora’s Poe also offers access to a bouquet of models. You can buy Poe’s subscription starting at $5 per month.

DuckDuckGo says that it will continue to add costlier plans to its paid product that offer “larger and more highly advanced models.” It didn’t specify whether the current plan has any usage limits.

摘要

DuckDuckGo, a privacy-focused tech company, recently updated its $9.99 monthly subscription to include access to advanced AI models through Duck.ai without additional fees. The plan now offers users newer models such as OpenAI’s GPT-5 and Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4, alongside existing models like Claude 3.5 Haiku and Llama Maverick. These larger models provide enhanced capabilities in instruction-following, context maintenance, and nuanced responses. DuckDuckGo intends to introduce more premium plans for even more sophisticated AI models.
