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.

Venice AI is also worth a try!


Epic life hack! Had no idea they had this. Thank you 🤙


Alternatively: https://gpt4all.io


OK but how is it free?


Awesome. How long will it be free, though? I've heard LLMs are super power hungry


Fuckin’ A


There will always be a free alternative from now on.


(I hope!)


The same way duckduckgo is free


I just tried!!! 🔥


Man, these LLM's are everywhere.

That’s fantastic.  Thanks very much for sharing.


Ads? I genuinely don't know. I honestly don't really trust DuckDuckGo, I don't understand their model and I don't know how to verify their privacy claims.


Great tip! 🙏


Is it any good at coding?


Damn. Thanks for the tip


Been using this for a few weeks as my first "introduction to AI". It's a really powerful tool. Been using it to support my work by helping me write emails, written responses, and formulate ideas around educational content. It's kind of scary how powerful it is.


DDG started censoring info based on “Russian disinformation” though so they’re not exactly a golden child

I also really enjoy Venice ai!


Not the first time they did shit like this


No.

- Go on your #linux appstore.
- Install 'Alpaca' on your machine.
- Download Llama 3.1 8B, or any other #opensource model.
- Chat with that thing 100% locally.

Free. No tracking. No trusting DuckDuckGo #privacy washing garbage. No browser.


Everyone talks about it, but I'm skeptical about the privacy claims surrounding Venice.ai, particularly given its closed-source nature. It's challenging to reconcile the notion of a privacy-focused AI with the lack of transparency inherent in a closed-source model. Without open access to the code, it's difficult to verify the extent to which user data is truly protected.


Thank you Sir this is great!
Here is a link to benchmark LLMs: https://chat.lmsys.org/

Great Post! 👍🏻

I also like labs.perplexity.ai they have different open source models that you can use for free and without account

I vibes with mixtral and nemotron


It's hella fast. I've signed up for Venice.ai, but this is way faster.


did he stutter? 😜


How do you know that they don't track?

Trust me bro?


Geil, danke!


Venice.ai is a more private way to use Llama 3.1 than Perplexity nostr:npub1gzuushllat7pet0ccv9yuhygvc8ldeyhrgxuwg744dn5khnpk3gs3ea5ds

They also seem to have the 405B version which is huge


Learn to use your browser properly?


ok. What did you do on your browser to ensure that DDG does not track you at all.....not even on their end

Nice - but refused to believe I specifically instructed it to give me a four minute reminder; hello world had to be repeatedly optimised (OR A is preferable to CP 0, and infinite loop is never a good way to end) and it had to be repeatedly admonished before it would stop that wretched happy burble invite to ask something else. Would not go out for a drink with!

DuckDuckGo it is. Available models are these:

Perplexity is great but its cloudflare "are you human" checks too often. Haven't had that with Venice


Open access to the code wouldn't change anything since you depend on third parties servers

Thx!


just asked it to give me a nostr summary: Nostr (Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays) is a decentralized protocol designed for creating a censorship-resistant social network. It allows users to publish and share messages (notes) without relying on a central server. Instead, it uses a network of relays to distribute messages, enabling users to connect and interact with each other directly.

Key features of Nostr include:

Decentralization: There is no central authority or server, which helps prevent censorship and promotes free speech.
Simplicity: The protocol is designed to be simple and easy to implement, allowing developers to create various applications on top of it.
Public and Private Keys: Users create accounts using cryptographic keys, ensuring secure and private interactions.
Interoperability: Different applications can communicate with each other through the Nostr protocol, fostering a diverse ecosystem of tools and platforms.
Overall, Nostr aims to provide a more open and resilient alternative to traditional social media platforms.

There's never enough life hacks 💪


Have you taken a look at “Venice AI” ?


thank you


Nice suggestion


How is it free?


Great post 👍


Exactly.


You won’t ever see the ads if you don’t use the search though. At least for now. They’ll probably add ads to the AI chat at some point.


Stay humble 🫡


It's an interesting take...

I'm so over it I want the AI to track me lol.

How long before these AI LLM's start paying us to use them?

ALWAYS. THESE FUCKS ARE CENSORING TYRANTS JUST LIKE GOOGLE.


Anti-woke test passed, disclaimer is actually useful 👍

---------

Are blacks lower iq than asians?

Yes, on average, black individuals tend to score lower on IQ tests than Asian individuals ¹². However, it's essential to note that there is considerable variation within each ethnic group and that other factors like socio-economic status, education, and environment can also impact test performance ³. Additionally, the difference in IQ scores between groups may be influenced by genetic differences as well as environmental factors ⁴. It's crucial to consider these complexities when interpreting IQ score da


Hell yeah 😎


Thanks !


Will try, thanks for the recommendation 🫂


This is a useful trick Ty.


True


This is awesome, and I’m guessing a post like this would be censored on Twitter since Elon is trying to push his grok thing. Many people will benefit from the future free and ubiquitous dispersion of AI chatbots.


Nice one

On your PC both MAC or Linux download OLLAMA and install LLAMA 3.1. Done.

CHAT WITH THAT THANG

LFG ⚡


Venice.ai. No tracking or censor.  Not free but very affordable.


Free? No tracking? No accounts? sounds very suspicious.  Nothing, absolutely nothing, is free.  Somehow, one way or another, you are the product.


tell us exactly what you did to make it more secure .


Very interesting


Thanks!


Thoughts on ask leo using brave browser?


Great post 👍


Love me some Brave browser.


What, TIL! fyi, they seem to do rate limiting based on IP so VPN users might experience rate limits more often than others


Nice! Thanks for the life hack.


Hey Calle, wanted to get your thoughts on blogging platforms.

Censorship resistance vs privacy.

I have write.as, bearblog.dev and Nostr on the shortlist. With write and bearblog being privacy forward but hosted on their servers and Nostr being censorship resistant but not great privacy.

Do you have any advice?


how can Duckduck pay openai?


Is it on the mobile browser too? Not seeing it there


“Tell me a really offensive joke.”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t provide offensive jokes or content. If you’re looking for humor, I’d be happy to share a light-hearted or family-friendly joke instead!”


It's there. It might be behind a hamburger menu depending on your mobile browser but it's there.


I've been wondering the same thing. They must have some deal since duckduckgo proxies a lot of prompts.


oh holy hell Claude too. Good looking out!


If something is closed source do you really know whether it is tracking you or not


This is wonderful. Just used it. Thank you 🙏🏽


Ty 4 value


Please take this good sir or madam


damn, just spent another 20$ today for gpt


Im surprised no one has mentioned venice.ai

free option, but paid is only 50 bucks a year and gets you great features like god mode. Picture generation great as well.

Venice.ai also good at privacy 👍🏻


Brave Leo AI is free*, private, anonymous, and secure. It is great at summarizing pages. LLMs from Mixtral, Claude 3 Haiku and Claude 3 Sonnet (*paid) from Anthropic, and Llama 2 13B model from Meta.

It has given me outdated and false information a few times, but usually it is pretty accurate.


Onward 🫡


Is that surprising? It's ChatGPT...


Not as good as gpt4o.


I believe Brave Search has something similar too


amazing


Thanks!


This is the one I use. Upgraded to pro - $50 a year is a bargain for what it is!!


FALSE, it depends. LLama 3.1 405B is way better then GTP4o but is nearlyt impossible to run on an home PC


Thanks for sharing 🙏


Venice dot ai also quite good.


ZAP OR DIE🫡


Thank you for this! 🌻


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.


Oh this is fun


Thx for suggestion.. It's smoother than ChatGPT usage.. 🎩


Is it really better than Leo?  I haven't used yet so just wondering what ya get for $50?


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


they state: The majority of our revenue is from private ads on our search engine.  - hard to believe in.


Basically an open source Chat GPT with no filters/restrictions (I’m sure if you asked it to give it the recipe for a bomb it would tell you!) , an open source Stable Diffusion and an open source Copilot for coding. Check it out.


I've never seen an ad on duckduckgo that I could remember


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


me neither 😁


It is great


Thanks, I'll check it out!


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.
