Opera’s Aria browser stands out using Google’s Gemini large language model (LLM). It is worth noting that Aria’s Composer AI engine searches and selects the proper LLM for a particular task. The integration of Google’s Gemini model also represents a giant leap for Aria to be able to give out the latest information accurately.
“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.”

Mobile Integration on the Horizon
As of this writing, the update powered by Gemini is only available in desktop browsers. According to, Opera, there are plans for further improvements in the future and the integration of AI in all devices.
“We’re happy to elevate our long-standing cooperation with Opera by powering its AI innovation within the browser space.”

Through these latest updates, Opera has equipped users with a wide variety of AI features, making it a unique position in the AI browser market. Recently, Opera created an AI data cluster in Iceland based on renewable energy and expanded with NVIDIA DGX to accelerate the development of AI programs.
Browsers Fiercely Compete in AI Integration Race

Microsoft’s Edge browser has experienced an incredible return to form after incorporating AI features. Edge has managed to overtake Safari and reach second place by late 2023 by switching to a Chromium-based engine and integrating AI elements.
Moreover, Brave browser has also developed its own assistant, Leo, trained with the help of Mistral and Anthropic AI. Although Leo is still unable to generate images, it has a niche in ensuring privacy for its users.
