[QUOTE="Santiago Benavides García, post: 1085233"] [I]In this week’s AI Feature Drop, Aria gets the ability to generate images and read out loud text responses in the Developer stream of Opera One.[/I] Hello there, We’re continuing with our weekly [URL='https://press.opera.com/2024/03/08/opera-one-ai-feature-drops/']AI Feature Drops[/URL] updates for Opera One Developer stream. This time we’re bringing two major features to Aria, Opera’s native browser AI: image generation, and the ability to have Aria read text answers aloud. To give you a little recap, we recently shipped [URL='https://blogs.opera.com/news/2024/04/ai-feature-drops-local-llms/']on-device (local) LLMs[/URL] as part of our AI Features Drop program. But let’s take a look at what today’s additions have to offer. [HEADING=1][B]Aria Now Generates Images from your words[/B][/HEADING] With this update, Aria can now turn your text prompts and descriptions into unique images. Aria will recognize if you intend to generate an image based on the conversation prompts that you give it. Whether you want to create visual assets for a presentation or a fun picture of a dog on the beach, Aria will generate it for you using the image generation model [URL='https://deepmind.google/technologies/imagen-2/']Imagen2 by Google[/URL]. To generate an image, first open up a chat with Aria in the sidebar or in the Command Line* by pressing [B]ctrl + / [/B]or [B]cmd + /[/B]. Then you need to give Aria a prompt indicating that you want to generate an image followed by the description of what you want in it. Here’s an example: we asked Aria to make an image of a dog on vacation at a beach having a drink. [IMG width="650px"]https://lh7-eu.googleusercontent.com/A6jtS76lJuWKsv_k1YCWEI58mdAtyQO_KXOKMJNgVDYvWCk8jFe6OJCHKfpu1OPk5PTq58AXO6xaR-DMUDxSIP_STCejPvAu7LUKCZwXeSPjVS0PCSvSpUl6pSILbVE-9nULPv7fzgrn-R2HER6rsvs[/IMG] Now we have an image of a dog on the beach, great! However, the dog is missing its drink, right? If you are not satisfied with the image that Aria has generated, you can hit the “regenerate” button located in the top right corner of the picture. [IMG width="650px"]https://lh7-eu.googleusercontent.com/MpeR1aKYrEV7cucqtmxwJS7OpkMSc_2ERolAgcYhOl_LahStXH3UsICkzs1mAZyKN8f6NQqmyhs2gH5zwMiS-IykKfphDXQw1Fw0ayRd6bGD9dKUaGfh63CqkP6WdGsPO4rYTmnsZJI3ZTaPTxN0kco[/IMG] Once you have clicked the regenerate button, Aria will make a new image for you. Now the dog is on the beach and has a nice drink to enjoy!

All it took was a few prompts and Aria’s new talents got it done. This new feature allows you up to 30 opportunities each day to bring your ideas to life! Remember that you will need to download the [URL='https://www.opera.com/browsers/opera/developer']Developer[/URL] version of the Opera browser to start using Aria’s newest Feature Drops such as the image generation. [HEADING=1][B]Voice Output: Aria can read aloud[/B][/HEADING] [IMG width="650px"]https://lh7-eu.googleusercontent.com/6fsO1x1NSmbBQQVsa5iYrbv2V6zIIuRtx2Z-0cplXEa8xZKUHgYpV-2ZPSqWD_BXtxVgCOb8HP0FFIyhvcZJAUNUI_1RrzN5mqbKIWOdmVrvwf4cVb2o_5miF6zy-yorYbBv6z0mo-612np9-4fYeAM[/IMG] The second feature coming to the Developer stream of the browser with an update that enables Aria to read text answers out loud.

Click on it to have Aria read the text response that has been generated to answer your query.

Clicking the speaker icon again will restart the dialogue from the beginning. Aria will do its best to select the relevant language for spoken responses, as it continues to improve its linguistic skills. Aria’s also learning to speak more naturally! For this Feature Drop, it’s currently using the Basic version of Google’s Wavenet model. We believe these features will streamline your browsing and inspire even more innovative ways to interact with Aria. These are still early days, and we appreciate feedback on Aria’s new features!
