Summary
Opera began shipping local AI models on 27 October 2026 with WebAI, an opt-in early preview in Opera One. Websites and extensions can call Prompt, Decision and Semantic Embeddings APIs that run on the user's own computer, using open-weight models such as Google's Gemma or Apple's on-device model on Macs. Opera says there is no account, fee or API key. It works on 64-bit Windows PCs and Apple silicon Macs, with Opera GX and Opera Neon to follow.
