Google brings Gemini to Apple iPad
After what feels like an eternity, Google has finally brought a native Gemini app to the iPad. No more stretched-out iPhone version or clunky compatibility mode. This release is the real deal, folks -- a proper iPad app that takes full advantage of the larger display and multitasking capabilities Apple’s tablet has to offer.
Thankfully, this new Gemini experience isn’t just about a fresh coat of paint. It really improves how you use AI on a tablet. Thanks to support for Split View, you can now run Gemini side by side with other apps. That means doing research while writing, or generating code while watching a tutorial -- all without switching screens.
Opera integrates Google Cloud’s Gemini models for enhanced browser AI
Opera has revealed a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to integrate Gemini models into its Aria browser AI, marking a significant advancement in browser technology. This collaboration will see the incorporation of Google's latest and most advanced large language model, Gemini, into Opera's Aria, which is powered by the multi-LLM Composer AI engine. This engine is uniquely capable of selecting the optimal model for different user tasks, enhancing performance and user experience.
The Gemini model is celebrated for its modern, powerful capabilities and user-friendly design, and its integration is expected to boost the accuracy and speed of information delivery to Opera users. "Our companies have been cooperating for more than 20 years, and we are excited to deepen this collaboration into the field of generative AI to further power our suite of browser AI services," said Per Wetterdal, EVP of Partnerships at Opera.
Opera introduces new AI image generation and voice output features in latest update
Opera continues to expand the capabilities of its browser with the introduction of new AI-driven features. The latest update to the Opera One Developer stream has introduced some very cool enhancements, including image generation and voice output capabilities, through its native AI, Aria.
Aria, Opera’s browser-based AI, now allows users to generate images directly from text prompts. This feature, powered by Google’s Imagen2 model, enables users to create unique visual content simply by describing their ideas in words. For instance, users can ask Aria to generate an image of a dog enjoying a vacation on a beach. If the initial result doesn’t meet expectations, there’s an option to regenerate the image with modifications, such as adding a drink or changing the color of the dog’s sunglasses.
