Opera and Google Cloud Unite to Revolutionize Browser AI
Opera, the innovative browser company, has announced a groundbreaking collaboration with Google Cloud to integrate Gemini models into its Aria browser AI. This integration marks a significant milestone in the development of Opera’s AI capabilities, enabling the company to provide its users with the most current information at high performance.
The Power of Aria Browser AI
Aria is powered by Opera’s multi-LLM Composer AI engine, which allows the company to curate the best experiences for its users based on their needs. Unlike other AI models, Aria doesn’t rely on a single provider or LLM. Instead, Opera’s Composer AI engine processes the user’s intent and decides which model to use for which task.
Google’s Gemini Model: A Game-Changer in LLM
Google’s Gemini model is a modern, powerful, and user-friendly LLM that is the company’s most capable model yet. With this integration, Opera will now be able to provide its users with the most current information, at high performance.

A Long-Standing Partnership
Opera and Google Cloud have been cooperating for over 20 years. This collaboration marks a significant deepening of their partnership into the field of generative AI to further power Opera’s suite of browser AI services.
“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,” said Per Wetterdal, EVP Partnerships at Opera.
“We’re happy to elevate our long-standing cooperation with Opera by powering its AI innovation within the browser space,” said Eva Fors, Managing Director, Google Cloud Nordic Region.
Opera’s AI Innovation
Opera has been tapping into the potential of browser AI for over a year now. Currently, all of its flagship browsers and its gaming browser, Opera GX, provide access to the new browser AI. Opera also recently opened a green energy-powered AI data cluster in Iceland with NVIDIA DGX supercomputing to quickly expand its AI program and host the computing it requires in its own facility.
AI Feature Drops Program
To stay at the forefront of innovation, Opera also recently announced its AI Feature Drops program, which allows early adopters to test its newest, experimental AI innovations in the Opera One Developer version of the browser.
Image Generation and Voice Output
The newest AI Feature Drop is a result of the collaboration with Google Cloud: as of today, Aria, in Opera One Developer, provides free image generation capabilities by utilizing the Imagen 2 model on Vertex AI. Starting with this feature drop, Opera’s AI will be able to read out responses in a conversational-like fashion, thanks to Google’s groundbreaking text-to-audio model.
