Opera Launches WebAI Standard to Run AI Models in Browser

Original: Browser maker Opera has introduced WebAI, a new standard designed to let users run AI models directly inside their brows

Browser maker Opera has introduced WebAI, a new standard that lets users run AI models directly inside their browser without depending on cloud infrastructure. The system supports open-weight models, including Google's Gemma and Apple's on-device foundation models, pointing to a shift toward local, private AI processing on users' own machines.

Why now: Running AI locally instead of in the cloud touches on privacy, cost and performance concerns that are hot topics in tech right now.
