Opera

We’re proud to be among the world’s top 100 supercomputers!

We’re excited to announce that we’ve launched a native, Arm-Optimized version of our browser for Microsoft Windows, with support from Microsoft’s App Assure team and Qualcomm! Delivering over twice the speed on Arm-based Windows systems, our Snapdragon-optimized version of the Opera browser delivers lightning-fast performance on the fastest machines available on the market. It also amplifies our AI capabilities, bringing our users the most intelligent and responsive browser yet. The Snapdragon-optimized version of Opera will be first available in the developer version of the Opera browser, and will allow early adopters to try it out on the newest Windows devices that come equipped with an Arm processor.

Our latest AI Feature Drop is here, exclusively in Opera Developer! This update introduces several exciting new features: Writing Mode: Aria can now correct or tweak any text inside the Command Line without interrupting browsing. Once done, users can replace the old text with the new, having it populate the input field of the original page with the click of a button. Conversation Summarization: Conversations can quickly get long when engaging with AI, which is why we created summarization for conversations, where Aria can now summarize all previous answers into one clear and concise response! Linked Sources: Aria will now attach links to sites that were used to formulate it’s answer directly within responses (on the condition that access to the web was necessary to respond to the users prompt). These links are clickable, meaning users can easily explore the web and dig deeper into the sources used. These features can be accessed through Aria in the sidebar or via the command line (ctrl + / or cmd + /). If you want to stay at the forefront of the latest AI updates, you can download the Opera Developer browser from our website: Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dqAP5myn

We’re back with another AI Feature Drop - this time with two major updates! We’re excited to announce that Aria now has the ability to generate images and read out loud text responses in the Developer version of Opera One! 🎨 With this update, Aria can now turn users text prompts into unique images using the image generation model Imagen2 by Google! A built-in regenerate button means users can easily refine their images until Aria creates the perfect one! This update also enables Aria to read text answers out loud, utilising Google’s Wavenet model to generate human-like voice output. Users can get Aria speaking by simply hovering over the text response and clicking the speaker icon in the corner! These features can be accessed through Aria in the sidebar or via the command line (ctrl + / or cmd + /). To stay at the forefront of the latest AI updates and test these features out for yourself, you can download the Opera Developer browser from our website! https://lnkd.in/eQh9rCwC Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e5RufBWF
