HoldMyTypePSA #kagi has a new kind of #ai
Why the hype it neither Foss nor it can be self hosted?
Kagi does not use a single proprietary AI model. Instead, it integrates multiple large language models (LLMs) from leading third-party providers, giving users access to a range of top-tier AI models through one platform.
Kagi supports models from:
#OpenAI (e.g., GPT-4)
3
#Anthropic (e.g., Claude 3.5)
3
#Google
#Meta
#Mistral
#Amazon
#Alibaba
#DeepSeek
4
These models are accessed via their APIs, with Kagi acting as a privacy-preserving proxy to ensure user data is not used for training by the LLM providers

. The Kagi Assistant, available primarily through the Ultimate Plan, allows users to switch between these models and leverages Kagi Search to enhance the quality of AI-generated responses

Dr. JanekderersteAlso, I do like the grouped tabs feature. Tabs opened via clicking a link on a page are opened as a sub-tab of that tab. #orion #kagi #macOS
Paul JewellSo I am troubled by the insidious creep of AI into everything, and this evening I pressed some keys while in the #kagi search window and was promptly given an "assistant overview" of my search term. Since I though I had disabled all AI in my #kagi settings, I was a bit surprised. Anyway, it turns out the use of AI has expanded, and no, you can't turn it off in the settings. When I raised this with kagi support, I was pointed at a third party repository with CSS to hide the AI elements. I replied that I thought it inappropriate to use a third party configuration to turn off (or rather hide) something I don't want. Kagi should put an "OFF switch" in the settings. I have put the CSS in my config, but I am reconsidering my subscription to Kagi. Any other (non AI) search options out there?
In case you want it, the CSS is here:

Sandip Bhattacharya ☮️I wanted to add mine & just two more blogs from ppl I knew to Kagi's small web: https://blog.kagi.com/small-web
It was a ridiculous amount of effort to find people I who I knew to be bloggers, and still had a blog that has been updated in the last year. Most blogs are dead or moved to walled gardens
Cay HorstmannI've been paying #Kagi for search since it's worth my time to get results instead of ads and slop. Added benefit: their translate service is fantastic for language learners. Where Google Translate gives the minimum, Kagi goes all out.
Kagi HQKagi tip 💡
Did you know you can set up URL redirects to reroute search results to the sites or frontends you prefer?
Here's how, with examples from the community:
Matt BruntSwitched to #Kagi last week, I've been impressed with the quality of the search results, and it's so nice to not have to skip past a bunch of irrelevant ad bullshit and slop to get to results like you do on Google (without browser extensions to remove those things)
eledanieleAttualmente uso #qwant come motore di ricerca sul web, che è gratuito, e quindi non capisco perché la gente paghi per #kagi o servizi simili. Ma siccome non penso che la gente sia stupida (almeno non qui sopra), mi viene da pensare che lo stupido sia io che non capisco il suddetto perché... C'è qualcunə che sa spiegarmi i motivi?
