Picture This: Open Source AI for Image Description

Nolan, an AI developer from Fly.io, shares his experience with large language models (LLMs) and their impact on accessibility for visually impaired individuals. He discusses how advancements in machine learning have led to improved image descriptions, making previously inaccessible content available to users like him. Nolan also provides a detailed walkthrough of creating an open-source image description service using Ollama, PocketBase, and LLaVA models. The project is designed to be modular and easily customizable for various applications beyond image descriptions.
