Kagi Search

We’ve introduced a debug tool for everyone helping localize Kagi into as many languages possible and contributing Kagi translations. This toggle is located at the bottom of your Settings > General page and displays string IDs across the UI, providing better context for translations.

We grant official contributor status to our translators, providing access to early products and features. Thank you to all who have contributed.

    @kagihq@mastodon.social thanks for the links. The anchors appear to be broken somehow though.

    Copypasta of relevant sections:

    Content can be anonymously shared with external AI model providers. When done so, it is opted-out of any re-use.

    Additionally, because Kagi is using the API access rather than the frontend, the provider does not use the data for training the LLM models.

    What I gather is that Kagi acts as the proxy and forwards requests on your behalf (+ some caching).

    It boils down to needing to trust the LLM provider that they actually honour the re-use opt-out request but I guess that’s always the case with any reseller of that LLM provider.

    What’s missing here though that could be very critical for businesses that need to be GDPR-compliant (read: any business operating in the EU) is into which jurisdiction the data is transferred; both Kagi’s LLM proxy aswell as the actually used LLM servers. It can’t be transferred to the U.S. for instance.
