Nicolas MouartGemma 3 4B it -QAT- q4 by Google is a pretty good multimodal model given its size and level of quantization. Even better it runs on CPU and is relatively fast. The description of the picture below was generated by it.

Brian SullivanPerhaps showing my ignorance here but I am wondering how alt descriptions of images actually work for visually impaired individuals. Surely it is not possible to read the text displayed... the font used is miniscule?I presume they are using some custom browser or browser extension (or screen reader device that will read and speak the text displayed on the screen)?Should it try to describe everything in the image? Or should it just be a few words?<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/alt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alt</a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/visualimpairment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#visualimpairment</a>
