A humanoid robot sits at a desk in a futuristic office, facing a computer monitor and coffee mug. The robot has a sleek white head with a dark digital face display and wears a dark shirt. In the doorway behind, a llama stands facing forward, humorously labeled “MODEL = Llama” with targeting crosshairs. Text overlays include “Opera Neon” in the corner, “Step right in.” above the robot, and “NEW MODELS ADDED” listing Qwen3-Next Thinking, Qwen3-Next Instruct, and Llama 4 Maverick. The composition blends advanced AI themes with playful imagery to promote Opera Neon’s new AI models.
