Experimenting with local alt text generation in Firefox Nightly – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog

Firefox 130 will introduce an experimental new capability to automatically generate alt-text for images using a fully private on-device AI model. The feature will be available as part of Firefox’s built-in PDF editor, and our end goal is to make it available in general browsing for users with screen readers.
