VideoLAN showcased the VLC media player's new feature at CES 2025, demonstrating real-time AI-generated subtitles and translations in over 100 languages, all functioning offline. President Jean-Baptiste Kempf highlighted that the AI operates locally, without cloud services. This development follows previous work with OpenAI's Whisper for subtitling. VideoLAN also celebrated reaching 6 billion downloads, indicating a growing user base despite the prevalence of streaming services. The release date for the new feature remains unspecified.
