Yeah. Anyone knows how much of that opera is left over in the current opera?

#16The question I have is, why should your browser also be the interface to local AI models? Seems totally unrelated to be honest.

That’s fairly revisionist. Bert Bos was never involved with Opera to the best of my knowledge, and Håkon Wium Lie only joined Opera later. The initial drafts of the CSS1 spec were done in 1994 well before Opera even existed, and the W3C’s history of CSS lists Opera as the third browser to implement at least part of the spec.[1]

Brave's Leo appears to be on their servers, not run locally.

It makes it possible to do, in half an hour, tasks which were completely unnecessary to do before.
But why use the web browser as local interface for it? Why not a separate, native application?

If my data is already in the browser (Sheets, Gmail, other websites to scrape) why have another app instead of doing the work in the browser?
