They support Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, HuggingChat, and Mistral.

    The fact that I can’t choose one of the many AIs I have locally downloaded on my computer is bogus

      I switched a while back before all the Ai and “privacy preserving” telemetry stuff.

      Every update note I see for Firefox now just reinforces my decision.

    Unpopular opinion, I think they’re doing it right as well as it can be at least. It’s completely optional and doesn’t seem to be intrusive.

    Didn’t want it in Opera, don’t want it in Firefox. I mean they can keep trying and I’ll just keep on ignoring this shit :/

    I don’t understand the hate. It’s just a sidebar for the supported LLMs. Maybe I’m misunderstanding?

    Yes, I would prefer Mozilla focus on the browser, but to me, this seems like it was done in an afternoon.

      It seems like common cynicism. Mozilla adds this feature, as not to yield major features to other browsers. Mozilla’s lets you natively have lots of different AI solutions to pick from.

      Not every feature is for everyone. Not every feature is done being improved on at release.

      And in spite of popular opinions, organizations don’t do just one thing and then do just the next thing and the thing after that. Organizations can and do focus on and prioritize many things at the same time.

      And for people who are naysaying AI at every mention, it has a lot of great and fascinating uses, and if you think otherwise, you really should try them more. I’ve used it plenty for work and life. It’s not going away, might as well do some nice things with it.

      I want my browser to be a browser. I don’t want Pocket, I don’t want AI, I don’t want bullshit. There are plugins for that.

            i know it is an unpopular opinion around here. but currently AI features open doors for sales. that is important.

            for the software i help develop, we introduced an optional AI integration. just its presence allowed us to sell the main SW multiple times. the AI plugin was never sold so far.

            investment AI: 2 weeks of gluecode. i am not concerned with finances, but that plugin is for sure net positive.

              Do users like the AI integration, or is this just something the management class wanted to see? Right now, those clothes look crazy good on that emperor…

    why a fucking chatbot? translate a page better for me you fucking losers, all the translation options suck for privacy outside of specifically trained local AIs. this is the BEST use case for a small local LLM yet mozilla with all its brains and resources couldnt rub two neurons together for this.

    or they could do character prediction on your typing to make typing faster. just some legit examples, why waste resources to build a chat ai into my browser when i can just open a website???

    Thing is, for your average user with no GPU and whp never thinks about RAM, running a local LLM is intimidating. But it shouldn’t be. Any system with an integrated GPU, and the more RAM the better, can run simple models locally.

    The not so dirty secret is that ChatGPT 3 vs 4 isn’t that big a difference, and neither are leaps and bounds ahead of the publically available models for about 99% of tasks. For that 1% people will ooh and aah over it, but 99% of use cases are only seeing marginal gains on 4o.

    And the simplified models that run “only” 95% as well? They can use 90% fewer resources give pretty much identical answers outside of hyperspecific use cases.

    Running a a “smol” model as some are called, gets you all the bang for none of the buck, and your data stays on your system and never leaves.

    I’ve been yelling from the rooftops to some stupid corporate types that once the model is trained, it’s trained. Unless you are training models yourself, there is no need for the massive AI clusters, just for the model. Run it local on your hardware at a fraction of the cost.

      Can you point me to some resources to running smol llm?

      My use case prob just to help “typing” miscellaneous idea I have or check for my grammatical error, in english.

      Thanks, in advance.

      There’s the tragedy with this new feature: they fast-tracked this past more popular requests, sticking it into Release Firefox.

      But they only rushed the part that connects to third parties. There was also a “localhost” option which was originally alongside the Big Five corporate offerings, but Mozilla ultimately decided to bury that one inside of the about:config settings.

    I wish I had telemetry on such features.

    I really doubt a significant number of people use AI chatbots often enough that having it in a dedicated sidebar is worth it.
