Introduction:
Leo, an AI-powered assistant, is now available to all desktop users thanks to a release from Brave, a firm AI Assistant is Now Available to Desktop Users. Leo Premium, a $15/month subscription version with access to faster and better large language models (LLMs) and more significant rate restrictions, is another product the firm is offering.
Leo has spent several months in testing. Users of Brave’s Nightly version may access it in August. It will be accessible to all users of the Brave desktop browser running version 1.60 as of right now.
To initiate a conversation, users can click the Leo icon in the sidebar. Alternatively, they can type a query into the address bar and click the Leo icon to receive a straight response.
The context-aware tasks that Brave’s AI-powered assistant can perform include translating text, rewriting sentences, and summarizing web pages or films.

Leo is modeled off Anthropic’s Claude LLMs and Llama 2. The simplest version of these models is available to free users while paying users can access more advanced models, such as Llama 2 70B, Code Llama 70B, and Anthropic Claude Instant. These models allow for more rapid and precise reactions.
All requests to Leo, according to Brave, go through an anonymous server as a proxy, making it impossible to trace them back to a specific IP. Furthermore, the business stipulated that replies are not kept on any server or utilized for model training—instead, they are deleted right away after creation. Brave pointed out that since unlinkable tokens are used to validate subscriptions, the company is unable to access your email address or activity.
These days, browser-based AI capabilities and assistants are becoming increasingly widespread. Additionally, specific browsers—like Microsoft Edge and Opera—have added AI assistance to the sidebar. Other upstarts have experimented with various formats and features for AI-based features, like Browser Company’s Arc and SigmaOS. As more browsers integrate AI, they will need to go beyond rewriting and summarizing features in order to support businesses in making money.
Brave, who fired 9% of its workforce in October, is now concentrating on increasing sales. The business Search switched to using its indexing system in April, abandoning Bing’s index. Brave introduced its search API for customers in May; 1,000 queries cost $3.
