Experimenting with local alt text generation in Firefox Nightly – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
hacks.mozilla.org
Firefox 130 will feature an on-device AI model that automatically generates alt-text for images, integrated into its built-in PDF editor.

New accessibility feature coming to Firefox, an “AI powered” alt-text generator.

"Starting in Firefox 130, we will automatically generate an alt text and let the user validate it. So every time an image is added, we get an array of pixels we pass to the ML engine and a few seconds after, we get a string corresponding to a description of this image (see the code).

…

Our alt text generator is far from perfect, but we want to take an iterative approach and improve it in the open.

…

We are currently working on improving the image-to-text datasets and model with what we’ve described in this blog post…"

    I looked through the beehaw instance and I saw what you had screenshot. You are right. It is not your browser, it is the instance.

    Currently they currently on 0.18.4. Infosec.pub is currently on 0.19.3. Maybe that’s the issue…

      oh god, would suck if it’s another broken Lemmy release

      I had other formatting problems with HTML inside code blocks being removed and bleeding out of them generating other closing tags. Maybe that was also related.
