OSLO,
Norway, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Opera
[NASDAQ: OPRA], the innovative browser company from Norway, is announcing that its built-in
browser AI – Aria – is now available to all desktop and gaming
users, as well as users of Opera for Android in beta, without the
log-in requirement. Previously, users needed to sign in to their
Opera account to access Aria's features. This change lowers the
threshold for Opera's wide audience to experience Aria's full
potential, including Image Generation, Image Understanding, Page
Context mode, and more.
"We believe that AI should be available to everyone, and this
change makes it easier for users to experience the benefits of
Aria," said Krystian Kolondra, EVP
Browsers and Gaming at Opera.
Aria is now available without an account in Opera One, Opera GX,
and Opera for Android Beta. In the next few weeks it will become
available in Opera for Android and Opera for iOS – making Aria's
capabilities easier to access on every platform.
Bringing innovative AI features to the browser
Since the introduction of Aria in 2023, Opera has been
working on improving its browser AI capabilities. The company
quickly realized that LLMs have great potential to help people in
their daily browsing activities and created the "AI Feature Drops"
program to test cutting edge AI functionalities in the Developer
version of Opera.
AI Feature Drops allow Opera to experiment with features,
including the ability to download and use Local LLMs directly in
the browser and a Writing Mode to help users enhance their writing.
Some of these features, including Image Generation, Image
Understanding, Page Context mode, and Links to sources, have since
been integrated into the main version of Opera One and are now
available for everyone to use.
Aria utilizes Opera's AI Composer engine, which selects the most
suitable model (GPT or Gemini) to handle users' queries. The
company also invested in a green-energy-powered AI data cluster in
Iceland, rated one of the world's
top 100 supercomputers, to support our AI-focused projects. This
infrastructure allows Opera to provide its user base with the
latest AI advancements in a cost effective and sustainable way.
