Brave Introduces AI Assistant "Leo" to iPhone and iPad Users
Additionally, Leo operates through a reverse-proxy system to anonymize user requests, ensuring anonymity and data protection.
Brave, the privacy-focused browser, has unveiled its AI assistant, Leo, for iPhone and iPad users, expanding its accessibility beyond Android and desktop platforms. Leo enables users to ask questions, summarize content, create various forms of content, and more, enhancing the browsing experience with intuitive AI capabilities.
Leo, designed to enhance browsing experiences and productivity, empowers users with features such as voice-to-text capabilities and access to multiple large language models (LLMs), offering an array of functionalities directly within the browser. With Leo now available on iOS devices, users can leverage its capabilities to generate summaries, answer questions, translate pages, create content, and more, all from the convenience of the browser address bar.
Leo harnesses the power of Mixtral 8x7B, Anthropic’s Claude Instant, and Meta’s Llama 2 13B. While Mixtral 8x7B serves as the default large language model (LLM) for Leo, users have the flexibility to opt for other LLMs or upgrade to Leo Premium for expanded functionalities and higher rate limits, available at $14.99 per month.
As with all features integrated into the Brave browser, privacy remains a top priority for Leo. Chats with Leo are secure and private, with no recording or retention of conversations for model training purposes. Additionally, Leo operates through a reverse-proxy system to anonymize user requests, ensuring anonymity and data protection.
Brave users can access Leo on iOS by updating to version 1.63 of the browser, with the rollout expected to reach all users gradually over the coming days. To engage with Leo, users simply initiate a conversation by typing "Ask Leo" in the address bar or tapping the Leo icon for on-page chat experiences.
Brave's commitment to privacy and innovation continues with Leo, offering a seamless and secure AI assistant experience for users across all platforms. With Leo, browsing becomes not only more efficient but also more personalized and engaging, heralding a new era of AI-powered browsing experiences.
