Hol up … 10 GB?

This has a lot of potential. So apparently they use their own + European Search Perspective indexes. The ESP was built by Ecosia and Qwant I believe. Will be testing out whether it’s any good. Most search engines use bing or google under the hood, having something independent and still being decent is not easy. Last I checked only Brave had something remotely usable and independent but even then it was not that good. Kagi uses their own but still rely heavily on bing / google.

First impressions the site itself is pretty polished, at least from the UI side of things.

Seems like they have a PRO and PLUS services. PRO is 8 eur a month and gives access to more expensive LLM models. So far they offer Qwen 3, Kimi 2.5, Mistral 3, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3 PRO. Not bad but from my understanding you can only do 100 queries for that 8 eur.

Seems like the open source models are also hosted on EU. Would be great if they could include more, smaller models, such as Gemma 4, GPT 20B…

Will also be looking into their privacy claims and whether it’s not just “trust me bro”. I saw someone mention they were also planning on making the search open source or something ?

I have to say though looking really good.

https://www.xprivo.com/search/ This is the search engine. Kinda weird decision to put the AI chat in the homepage and the actual search engine inside /search.

In 10 years you will say the same thing about today :)

Interesting it’s the first time I hear about it, just read a summary of how it works. Is it used anywhere that you know of?

Also, who can be the exchange in practice? Banks?

Yep, will be waiting for published third party security audit results and compliance reports. About open-source he said :

Correct! It’s not open source and at least for the foreseeable future, I’m planning on keeping it closed. Like JG mentioned, because of internal audit requirements that I’ll be going through in Visa and MC over the next few months, I need to ease that pain as much as possible. They treat open source finance products with increased scrutiny.

Probably

It’s mostly novelty. But wears off eventually when you start noticing very obvious patterns emerge in the way it answers and quality degrades significantly as context size grows. It also will always talk to you in the way YOU tell it to which also becomes boring as time goes on.

It’s always funny to me how people on the news talk about AI partners and so on when you know if they have 2 brain-cells, next month they will drop this whole stupid idea. When you’re talking to it about your problems you’re just talking with yourself.

I switched to posteo. 1eur / month, does the job. Also use Thunderbird on mobile.

If people plan on switching my recommendation is not to do it all at once. Create the new email account and then slowly when you use accounts or buy something online point to the new account. It’s also a good idea since you start a fresh email account to not give your email to just any random websites or services. For this I use firefox email relay that I also pay 1$ per month.
