New Update Opera partners with Google to bring Gemini AI to its browser

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

In a press release published today, Opera has announced that it will be teaming up with Google, specifically Google Cloud, to make use of its Gemini AI models as a part of Opera's Aria browser AI. Opera's Aria utilises multiple LLMs rather than just one and now has access to the tools that have been developed for Gemini.

Per Wetterdal, EVP Partnerships at Opera, said the following:

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.

Eva Fors, Managing Director of Google Cloud Nordic Region, commented on the partnership, saying:

We’re happy to elevate our long standing cooperation with Opera by powering its AI innovation within the browser space.
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.

The main features advertised as being powered by Google Cloud are both Image Generation and Voice Output. These, included in the latest AI Feature Drop for Opera One Developer, use the Imagen 2 model on Vertex AI, and responses can be read out in a conversational-like fashion thanks to Google's text-to-audio model.

Opera adds Image Understanding to Aria – New AI Feature Drop

Image Understanding is a new AI Feature Drop that allows you to upload pictures to Aria and ask questions about them.

Say you are traveling through northern Europe, and during your stay in Norway you’re wandering through Oslo’s city center. You stumble upon what looks like an iconic building and take a picture of it. But, what is this building? From now on, you can get answers via Aria’s Image Understanding, just upload the image and ask about it.

After using Image Understanding with Aria, we now know that the building we’re looking at is no other than the second most iconic Opera from Norway. Aria also gave us some context about the building, like when was it built and opened, who built it, and what is it used for.
