Privacy-focused consumer tech company DuckDuckGo launched a subscription plan<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The Duck.ai chatbot is free to use, and users get access to models like Anthropic\u2019s Claude 3.5 Haiku<\/a>, Meta\u2019s Llama 4 Scout<\/a>, Mistral AI\u2019s Mistral Small 3 24B<\/a>, and OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4o mini<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With DuckDuckGo\u2019s $9.99 per month plan, users will be able to access newer models, including OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4o<\/a> and GPT-5<\/a>, Anthropic\u2019s Claude Sonnet 4<\/a>, and Meta\u2019s Llama Maverick<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese 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,\u201d the company said in a post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is a good opportunity for those who want to access the latest models without sticking to a single provider. Alternatively, Quora\u2019s Poe also offers access to a bouquet of models. You can buy Poe\u2019s subscription starting at $5 per month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DuckDuckGo says that it will continue to add costlier plans to its paid product that offer \u201clarger and more highly advanced models.\u201d It didn\u2019t specify whether the current plan has any usage limits.<\/p>\n
