It literally says it when you first click on the fucking link OP provided:
Corollary:
Some key differences that should convince you Claude is useless and was only added by DDG to try to differentiate themselves but ended up being a weak attempt using other companies and sacrificing privacy:
Company: Claude is developed by Anthropic, while ChatGPT is developed by OpenAI.
AI Model: Claude has three versions: Claude 3 Haiku, Claude 3 Sonnet, and Claude 3 Opus. ChatGPT has different versions like GPT-3.5, GPT-4, and GPT-4 Turbo.
Context Window: Claude can process up to 200,000 tokens (and up to 1,000,000 tokens for certain use cases), while ChatGPT can process up to 32,000 tokens.
Internet Access: ChatGPT has internet access, while Claude does not.
Image Generation: ChatGPT can generate images (DALL·E), while Claude cannot.
Supported Languages: Claude officially supports English, Japanese, Spanish, and French, but in testing, it supported even less common languages. ChatGPT supports 95+ languages.
API Pricing: Claude offers cheaper API access compared to ChatGPT.
Capabilities: ChatGPT is more versatile with features like image generation and internet access. Claude, on the other hand, offers a much larger context window, meaning it can process more data at once.

Except DuckDuckGo AI Chat ≠ Claude
Claude = Anthropic's AI
ChatGPT = OpenAI's AI
DuckDuckGo AI Chat = a chat framework that a) allows you to choose between either ChatGPT or Claude, and b) acts as an intermediary between you and the one you choose ensuring that the one you choose does not remember conversations as soon as you refresh your browser tab, thus ensuring relative privacy as well as making it so your conversations through DDG are not used to educate the AI you chose.
As for your list of points, your original point was that Claude is just another chatbot using the ChatGPT LLM, not that one is better than the other. I assume that you stating they're different now means you agree with my original point? Cool, thread closed, I guess.
Thanks for clarifying that I am really dumb. Also thanks for the informative summary, their tool sounds really nice from a privacy standpoint
You're cool. Sorry if I came across as douchy.
That being said, you're not dumb; you just didn't know.
And yeah it's not perfect, not by a LONG shot, but I like it. I wouldn't have ever given it a try if it wasn't for DDG providing such an interface, and for free no less. (I'm broke. Lol.)
