I second this request. For all of you wanting to try out duck.ai now, you can do so following these steps:

• open about:config to change some settings
  • set browser.ml.chat.enabled = true
  • set browser.ml.chat.provider = https://duck.ai
• open the sidebar
  • select "AI Chatbot" near the top
  • select "Custom provider" just below

Duck.ai currently offers a choice of 4 models:

• GPT 4o (mini)
• Claude 3 (Haiku)
• Llama 3.1 (70B)
• Mixtral (8x7B)

This service is currently in beta (public testing). No registration is required in order to use it. But the session may end after a certain amount of questions/inputs.

Seems like passing in prompts doesn't currently work for duck.ai, but it kinda works if you set the provider to https://duckduckgo.com/?ia=chat&bang=1 where it'll fill in the input box with the prompt although it's relatively limited in allowed length.

if we're good with it not actually starting chat right away, we could add ddg to onboarding from bug 1914977 with appropriate links, icon, etc. maybe a little simpler is to make it a choice without onboarding but needs to have the appropriate length limit bug 1903900 which seems to be very short for ddg unless we reach out to them to increase?
