Just saw that the duck has an AI chat (duck.ai). The best feature in my opinion is that you can select different chat models such as Llama and Claude to generate answers.

The UX itself reminds me of Bing Chat/Copilot. Does anyone know if it is powered by MSFT? Or does duckduckgo run its own AI stack?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is powered by something Microsoft-made, or anything else for that matter.

Their web browsers are just web view wrappers, their search engine itself is just Bing.

Here is the initial announcement (6 Jun 2024):
