Friend or foe?
At Expanso, we’re all about community-driven innovation. That’s why we’re excited to introduce @alt-text.bots.bacalhau.org, a Bluesky bot that generates automatic alt-text for images—powered by Bacalhau Project and the LLaVa Large Vision Model (LVM). ?? Why Alt-Text Matters: Not everyone experiences the web visually. Alt-text helps screen readers describe images to users with visual impairments, making content more inclusive. But let’s be honest—many people don’t add alt-text for various reasons. We’re here to help fix that. ?? How It Works: ?? Find an image on Bluesky without alt-text. ?? Reply with @alt-text.bots.bacalhau.org ?? The bot retrieves the image, runs it through LLaVa, and replies with auto-generated alt-text. ??? Built on Bacalhau’s Edge Capabilities: This bot showcases how distributed compute can power real-world applications at scale, processing images via GPU-enabled nodes on Expanso Cloud to generate accurate and context-aware descriptions. ?? Why It’s a Game-Changer: While human-written alt-text is always best, LLaVa and LVMs provide a major leap forward in automating image descriptions—making the internet more accessible for everyone. ?? Try it out today! Let’s make the web a more inclusive place—one image at a time. https://lnkd.in/eTBPeQ5t #Accessibility #AI #AltText #Inclusion #Bacalhau #Bluesky #MachineLearning
