In the newest AI Feature Drop, the Opera One browser is
gaining access to Google Cloud's Gemini models in the Aria browser
AI, as well as image generation and text-to-voice capabilities
thanks to a deeper cooperation between the companies and
integration of Google's flagship models.
OSLO,
Norway, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Opera, the
browser innovator, today announced a collaboration with Google
Cloud to integrate Gemini models into its Aria browser AI. Aria is
powered by Opera's multi-LLM Composer AI engine, which allows the
Norwegian company to curate the best experiences for its users
based on their needs.
Opera's Aria browser AI is unique as it doesn't just utilize one
provider or LLM. Opera's Composer AI engine processes the user's
intent and can decide which model to use for which task.
Google's Gemini model is a modern, powerful, and user-friendly
LLM that is the company's most capable model yet. Thanks to this
integration, Opera will now be able to provide its users with the
most current information, at high performance.
"Our companies have been cooperating for more than 20 years.
We are excited to be announcing the deepening of this collaboration
into the field of generative AI to further power our suite of
browser AI services," said Per Wetterdal, EVP Partnerships at
Opera.
"We're happy to elevate our long standing cooperation with
Opera by powering its AI innovation within the browser space,"
said Eva Fors, Managing Director,
Google Cloud Nordic Region.
Opera has been tapping into the potential of browser AI for more
than a year now. Currently, all of its flagship browsers and its
gaming browser, Opera GX, provide access to the new browser AI.
Opera also recently opened a green energy-powered AI data cluster
in Iceland with NVIDIA DGX
supercomputing in order to be able to quickly expand its AI program
and host the computing it requires in its own facility. To stay at
the forefront of innovation, the company also recently announced
its AI Feature Drops program, which allows early adopters to test
its newest, experimental, AI innovations in the Opera One Developer
version of the browser.
Image generation and voice output in Aria powered by Google
Cloud
The newest AI Feature Drop is a result of the collaboration with
Google Cloud: as of today, Aria, in Opera One Developer, provides
free image generation capabilities by utilizing the Imagen 2 model
on Vertex AI. Starting with this feature drop, Opera's AI will be
able to read out responses in a conversational-like fashion. This
is thanks to Google's ground-breaking text-to-audio model.
"We believe the future of AI will be open, so we're providing
access to the best of Google's infrastructure, AI products,
platforms and foundation models to empower organizations to chart
their course with generative AI," added Fors.
