Brave Leo is a large language model-based chatbot developed by Brave Software and included with the Brave desktop browser.
History
In November 2023, the company said versions for iOS and Android would be available "in the coming months".[1]
Features
Since January 2024, Leo has used the open-source Mixtral 8x7B from Mistral AI as its default large language model, in addition to LLaMA 2 from Meta Platforms and Claude from Anthropic, both of which have been used previously.[2]
Leo can suggest follow-up questions, and summarize webpages, PDFs, and videos.[3][4]
Leo has a $15 (US) per month premium version that enables more requests and uses larger LLMs.[3][5]
Privacy
The answers given by Leo are not saved.[6] Brave uses the slogan Love Privacy to emphasize its focus on user privacy and data protection. The phrase has been featured in Brave's official marketing campaigns and has been cited in media coverage of the browser's privacy-first approach.[7]
Controversies
PCWorld reported that Leo evades questions about US elections.[8]
