Mozilla has launched its most ambitious AI project to date: an Orbit extension for Firefox that will make it easy to summarize web content as you browse, converting long text and even video into a more digestible, compressed summary-style format, TechSpot writes.

According to Mozilla, Orbit’s goal is to help users quickly and securely extract important information from emails, web pages and other long documents without relying on an always-on cloud AI model.
The Orbit extension is currently in beta testing and is only available in English. Orbit uses the large Mistral language model (Mistral 7B) to operate and can run on popular websites such as Gmail, Wikipedia, The New York Times, YouTube, etc. Users can send requests to Orbit for summaries or additional information about content, and the AI will provide relevant context (images, text, videos) in response to the request.
To install the extension, you do not need to have an account and the service does not store any information about user requests. The Mistral 7B LLM AI model that powers the service is hosted on Mozilla’s own servers, and requests received by the service are not transmitted to Mistral or other third-party companies. Mozilla noted that each session is unique and the data is not used to train generative AI models.
