Overview

• Opera introduces experimental support for running Large Language Models (LLMs) locally in its Opera One Developer browser, offering users privacy and offline functionality.
• The update includes 150 LLM variants from 50 families, such as LLaMA, Gemma, and Mixtral, requiring 2-10GB of storage each.
• Opera's move to local LLMs aims to provide a competitive edge in the AI landscape, with potential for faster response times and data privacy.
• There's no timeline for when the local LLM feature will be introduced to the regular Opera browsers, as it remains exclusive to the developer version for now.
• Opera accounts for an estimated 4.88% of the browser market in Europe and 3.15% globally, with this feature potentially enhancing its market position.
