Brave Leo is a large language model-based chatbot developed by Brave Software and included with the Brave desktop browser. Released on 2 November 2023, Leo uses the LLaMA 2 LLM from Meta Platforms and the Claude LLM from Anthropic. It can suggest followup questions, and summarize webpages, PDFs, and videos.[1][2] The answers given by Leo are not saved.[3] Leo has a $15 per month premium version that enables more requests and uses larger LLMs.[1][4]

In November 2023, the company said versions for iOS and Android would be available "in the coming months".[5]

PCWorld reported that Leo evades questions about US elections.[6]
