Thanks, I’ll give it a try

I know duckduckgo rely on Microsoft bing for search results so I was assuming the AI is from ChatGPT?

I just looked now at their chatbot and they offer dififerent options most are based on OpenAI’s GPT (which even if self hosted, still relying on OpenAI). one other option based on Meta’s Llama and Calude.

Only reasonable option seems to be Mistral Small 3 which /u/horseloaf seem to suggest as well.

I’ll give it a try

and also not Musk’s Grok and not Google’s Gemini and of course not the Chinese DeepSeek so what do we use then?

what if it was my boss who said that during a technical argument? :/
