What is AVIF?
Netflix wanted to use HDR images. HDR uses software to increase the light and color in a photograph, producing larger images with large ranges of color. This meant they also needed to improve their image hosting. AVIF is a tool they're favoring. They have even documented their reasoning and testing, and you can clone their repo comparing different types of image compression.

What is AVIF?
The main downside is the lack of browser and CDN support. To use AVIF in your website today, you'll have to employ progressive enhancement, the type of which depends on how you're hosting your images. Another option is a polyfill. The other downside is the slow encoding speed and higher CPU requirements, which make dynamically creating images harder. However, the team has already made massive strides in speed in the short time AVIF has been around.
