Tldr: Theyre adding an opt-in alt text generation for blind people and an opt-in ai chat sidebar where you can choose the model used (includes self-hosted ones)

    But what does it DO? How is it actually useful? An accessibility PDF reader is nice, but AI can do more than that

    Our initial offering will include ChatGPT, Google Gemini, HuggingChat, and Le Chat Mistral

    This is great, but again, what for?

      A lot of people use llms a lot, ao its useful for them, but its also nice for summarizing long articles you dont have the time to read, not as good as reading it, but better than skimming jt

        @Blisterexe @Xuderis It’s true, as a researcher, these models have helped me a lot to speed up the process of reading and identifying specific information in scientific articles. As long as it is privacy respecting, I see this implementation with good eyes.

          It lets you use any model, so while it lets you use chatgpt, it also lets you use a self-hosted model if you edit about:config
