#WebAI

Opera's WebAI brings local AI models to supported browsers, offering developers new options while raising questions about privacy and device requirements.

Starting today, Opera One users can access a preview feature that lets them tap into local AI models through WebAI, a proposed web standard.

Opera’s WebAI preview lets websites and extensions use AI models running locally on supported computers, avoiding cloud processing and separate subscriptions while leaving access under the user’s control through site-specific permissions.
