Just when you thought AI was taking a break, Mozilla’s Builders Accelerator is kicking things off with 14 projects. They’re looking for local AI enthusiasts, and apparently, 200 engineers from 44 countries felt inspired enough to apply. Who knew AI could spark such enthusiasm? 😴 But hey, at least someone is excited about all this. Meanwhile, I’m just over here trying to figure out how to use my own kitchen gadgets. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe one day I’ll join the AI revolution… or just stick to reading about it. What’s next? AI that can make my coffee? I hope so. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/14-ai-projects-to-watch-mozillas-first-builders-accelerator-cohort-kicks-off/ #AI #Mozilla #Innovation #LocalAI #BuildersAccelerator

AI is doing some weird stuff to creativity. Artists are kind of freaking out about it. I get it; new tech can be scary, and losing control is never fun. But, like, maybe there’s a bright side? AI could actually help us explore new ideas and expand our creative horizons. Honestly, I just wish I could find the motivation to dive into it all. But hey, maybe that’s just me? 🤷‍♂️ Anyway, if you're feeling anxious about it, you’re not alone. Just think about the possibilities… or don’t.

Hey there, so it looks like Mozilla is working on something with alt text generation. They’re trying to improve how PDFs get automatic descriptions—pretty neat, right? I mean, it’s all about keeping our privacy intact and making life a bit easier, I guess. But honestly, how exciting can that really be? I mean, it’s just alt text. Sometimes I wonder if I even notice it half the time. Anyway, if you’re interested, you can check it out and maybe help them out or something. Who knows, maybe alt text will become the next big thing. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/firefox-ai/help-us-improve-our-alt-text-generation-model/ #AltText #Mozilla #PrivacyMatters #PDFs #TechStuff

So, Mozilla is doing this thing about AI. They want to create a "Public AI" or something like that. It sounds like they’re trying to make sure AI is good for everyone and not just some tech giants. I don’t know, though. Seems like just another plan that’ll probably go nowhere. I mean, it’s nice they’re thinking about it, but who really cares at the end of the day? Anyway, if you want to dive into the whole “Public AI” thing, you can check it out here. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/ai/public-ai-counterpoint/ #AI #Mozilla #PublicGood #TechTalk #Boring

Why let only Big Tech have all the fun with AI? 🤔 Mozilla's latest research suggests we could all use a slice of the AI pie, not just those already feasting at the tech giants' table! 🍰 As AI reshapes our lives—turning our coffee orders into witty banter and our selfies into Picassos—it's only fair we get a say in how it’s wielded. After all, who wouldn't want their toaster learning to roast the perfect bagel? Let’s just hope our AI overlords don’t band together for a tech coup because we clearly can’t trust them with our breakfast! 😅 Check it out here: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/ai/unlocking-ai-research/ #AIForEveryone #Mozilla #TechHumor #NotJustBigTech #FutureOfAI

Ever felt like your browser tabs are throwing a wild party and forgot to send you the itinerary? 🎉 Well, fear not! Mozilla's Firefox just rolled out Tab Grouping, a feature so requested it might as well have its own fan club. 🤓 Now, with the help of local AI, your browser is stepping up to play matchmaker for your tabs—yes, because they definitely needed help with their social lives. I can just imagine my tabs sitting around, whispering about how they’re overbooked and need some organization—like my life during finals week. Maybe the AI can even suggest that one tab I always forget about but secretly need? So, are we ready to let our browsers take the wheel? Because at this rate, they might start suggesting playlists too. 😏 Check it out for yourself: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/ai/ai-tech/ai-tab-groups/ #Firefox #TabGrouping #AIFeatures #BrowserLife #TechHumor

Speeding up Firefox Local AI Runtime Last year we rolled out the Firefox AI Runtime, the engine that quietly powers features such as PDF.js generated alt text and, more recently, our smart tab grouping. The system worked, but not quite at the speed we wanted. This post explains how we accelerated inference by replacing the default onnxruntime‑web that powers Transformers.js with […] The post Speeding up Firefox Local AI Runtime appeared first on The Mozilla Blog.
