  Yeah duck is all over bothered with since it came out since you don’t even need to login to use it.

  Nice! I saw Mozilla also added an ai chat in the browser recently (not in the phone version that I have seen tho).

  It is too bad duck.ai only runs the small models. Gpt4o-mini is not very good, it can be very inaccurate and very inconsistent :( I would like to see the 4.1-mini instead, faster and better and got function calling, so it can do web searches for example. O3 can’t so it can only know what it knows until 2023.

  But thanks for the information I will be looking out for when 4.1 is added!

  I’ve been using duck.ai recently myself and quite like it. My only complaint with it is that the chats have a length limit, so if you’re working on complex projects you can run into those limits pretty quick. I use it for worldbuilding for a novel I’m working on and I have to use chatgpt for thematic stuff because it has a better memory, but otherwise it’s great for quick/small things.
