Opera introduces a new web standard to let users deploy AI locally in their browser

Opera has launched WebAI, a new web standard enabling AI models to run locally in its Opera One browser, enhancing privacy and reducing reliance on cloud services. This supports various open-weight models, including Google's Gemma and Apple's on-device model on Macs. Users can opt in to use AI features like text generation and content classification directly on their devices without sending data to external servers.
