AI overview

Opera has introduced WebAI, which it describes as a web standard for running AI models locally in its browser, and made it available as an opt-in early preview in Opera One. Opera says it supports Google’s Gemma and Apple’s on-device foundation model on Macs, with support for Opera GX and Opera Neon planned. Local processing keeps the information handled by the AI on users’ devices instead of relying on the cloud, but performance depends on the user’s hardware.
