Run by Surge, not a subprocessor

Surge AI server (Qwen): our own AI model on our own hardware, used for analysis, fix writing, the site assistant and the Surge AI engines. SearXNG: a search service we host ourselves for the Surge AI + web search engine; it sends search queries (no account details) to public search engines (DuckDuckGo, Bing, Brave, Mojeek and Wikipedia), and the engine reads the top result pages.

Payment provider

Will be listed here before paid plans open.

Engines coming soon

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and the other engines marked coming soon are not connected, so they receive no data. Each provider will be added here before it is switched on.
