Opera, the browser innovator, today announced a collaboration with Google Cloud (NASDAQ:GOOGL) 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,” according to this morning’s news release, “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.
Shares in Alphabet, Google’s parent company, began Tuesday up 31 cents to $175.30.
