Brave Software is the next company to jump into AI, announcing a new privacy-preserving AI assistant called "Leo" is rolling out on the Android version of its browser through the latest release, version 1.63.
Brave says its AI assistant stands out for its ability to provide high-quality, relevant answers with fewer errors, thanks to leveraging several advanced large-language models like Mixtral 8x7B, Claude Instant, and Llama 2 13B, with Mixtral set as the default for its multilingual capabilities and superior performance.
Brave says Leo is fundamentally different on that front, incorporating strong safeguards that guarantee privacy while still allowing users to harness the power of AI tools.
Users don't have to log in to a Brave account to use Leo, so there's no risk of profiling or deanonymization.
Leo will be introduced to Brave browser users on Android via a phased roll-out on version 1.63.
Brave Leo on iOS will be made available in the coming weeks, according to the announcement, so the wait for Apple users won't be long either.
