Opera makes Aria AI available without log-in
Rhea-AI Summary
Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA] has announced that its built-in browser AI, Aria, is now available to all desktop and gaming users, as well as Opera for Android beta users, without requiring a log-in. This change aims to make Aria's features, including Image Generation, Image Understanding, and Page Context mode, more accessible to Opera's wide audience.
