DuckDuckGo’s paid plan now includes advanced AI models like GPT-5

DuckDuckGo is now expanding its paid subscription with access to several of the most advanced AI models on the market. Subscribers can now access OpenAI’s GPT-4o and GPT-5, Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4, and Meta’s Llama Maverick via the Duck.ai service.

To protect privacy, Duck.ai hides the user’s IP address from the AI model providers, and chat logs are saved locally and aren’t used to train the AI models. In addition, there’s a special “Fire Button” that lets users instantly delete previous conversations and chat histories.

The price of the subscription remains unchanged at $9.99/month or $99/year. In addition to the new AI features, the subscription also includes a VPN service, tools to remove personal information from the web, and identity theft assistance.

The free (basic) version of Duck.ai remains unaffected and can still be used without logging in or paying.
