In November 2023, Brave Software introduced an AI assistant called Leo in the Brave web browser for desktops. Now, the company is rolling out Leo to the Brave web browser for Android.
Brave Leo can perform many tasks, including answering your questions, summarizing webpages and videos, translating pages, generating long-form written content, creating transcriptions of audio and video content, and even writing code, all of which could come very handy for most people in day-to-day life, saving them a lot of time and offering them a lot of convenience when performing those tasks.
By default, Leo uses the Mixtral 8x7B large language model (LLM). However, it also allows you to opt for Calude Instant and Llama 2 13B if that’s what you like. Using Mixtral, however, lets you use the AI assistant in other languages, including English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. What’s even more impressive is that you can use Leo without signing in or logging in, and it doesn’t record chats either.
Fortunately, you can access Leo for free. However, Brave Software is also offering a paid version of the service, Leo Premium, which costs USD 14.99 per month and offers higher rate limits. According to the company, it has started rolling out Leo in phases with version 1.63 of the Brave web browser. So, it might take a few days for the feature to reach everyone. Until then, make sure to update the app to the latest version.
