Leo includes access to Mixtral 8x7B, Anthropic’s Claude Instant, and Meta’s Llama 2 13B, with Mixtral 8x7B set as the default LLM for Leo on desktop and Android. Users can select from other LLMs or upgrade to Leo Premium for higher rate limits at $14.99 per month, covering up to five devices across Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows. Brave ensures privacy, as it doesn't record chats or use them for model training, and all requests are proxied through an anonymization server. Users don't need a Brave account to use Leo, and subscriptions are validated by unlinkable tokens to maintain user privacy.
Key takeaways:
- Brave is launching its AI-powered assistant, Leo, to all Android users, offering features such as translating pages, summarizing content, and generating long-form written content.
- Leo will be available on iOS devices in the coming weeks and can be used for tasks such as planning a recipe, getting travel tips, and comparing products.
- Brave ensures privacy with Leo, stating that chats are private, not recorded, and not used for model training. Users also don't need to create a Brave account to use Leo.
- Brave isn't the only browser company to launch an AI assistant, as Opera launched an AI assistant called Aria last year in collaboration with OpenAI.
