The Internet being mostly broken at this point is driving me a little insane, and I can’t believe that people who have the power to keep a functioning search engine for themselves wouldn’t go ahead and do it.
I wonder about this every time I see people(?) crowing about how amazing AI is. Like, is there some secret useful AI out there that plebs like me don’t get to use? Because otherwise, huh?
There is Kagi for the rest of us
Yeah this is what I was thinking, they use Kagi or something like it.
I wish they also had an LLM. I need a paid backup for when ChatGPT enshittifies. That won’t eventually extort me like VC backed corpos will
They do offer access to ALL the LLMs. You could pay $20 to OpenAI for only ChatGPT 5, or you could pay $25 to Kagi for unlimited Kagi search and access to premium models for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Kimi, and others. If you do annual, I think it’s cheaper.
Are you talking about Lumo or is there another way to access their models?
It’s called Kagi Assistant. You can choose any model. For premium models, you need to upgrade.
Lumo is a proton thing, but they use Mistral models, and you can use those models with Kagi.
…you literally just click the menu and choose the model you want? Or is my UI different than others?
Likely a different UI
