## Runs On

What it takes to serve videomae-large (343M parameters): the memory its weights need at each precision, and the cheapest way to rent enough data-center GPUs to hold them.

Memory is the weights at that precision plus 20% for the runtime and a short context; a long context needs more. Prices are the lowest on-demand hourly rates in the [SAVRN Index](https://savrn.com/ai-index/pricing/gpus), read Oct 24, 2026.

## Model Card

VideoMAE model pre-trained on Kinetics-400 for 1600 epochs in a self-supervised way. It was introduced in the paper VideoMAE: Masked Autoencoders are Data-Efficient Learners for Self-Supervised Video Pre-Training by Tong et al. and first released in this repository. Disclaimer: The team releasing VideoMAE did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team. VideoMAE is an extension of Masked Autoencoders (MAE) to video. The architecture of the model is very similar to that of a standard Vision Transformer (ViT), with a decoder on top for predicting pixel values for masked patches. Videos are presented to the model as a sequence of…

## Questions About videomae-large

### How much GPU memory does videomae-large need?

About 0.8 GB at 16-bit and 0.2 GB at 4-bit: the weights (343M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

### What is the cheapest GPU to run videomae-large on?

At 16-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour; at 4-bit, 1x MI300X from $1.85 an hour, at the lowest on-demand prices the SAVRN Index lists.

A HuggingFace-format conversion of Meta AI's V-JEPA 2.1 ViT-L/16 video encoder and predictor, operating at 384x384 resolution. The weights are Meta's, copied without modification. This repository provides the transformers-compatible packaging plus a documented numerical validation against the original implementation. An equivalent community port already exists (Dev-Jahn/vjepa2.1-vitl-fpc64-384). This repository adds an independently reproduced conversion together with the validation results below. Forward outputs match the existing port to all reported digits. The only structural change is that the fused QKV projection of each attention block is split into separate query / key / value…

A frontier video understanding model developed by FAIR, Meta, which extends the pretraining objectives of VJEPA, resulting in state-of-the-art video understanding capabilities, leveraging data and model sizes at scale. The code is released in this repository. To run V-JEPA 2 model, ensure you have installed the latest transformers: V-JEPA 2 is intended to represent any video (and image) to perform video classification, retrieval, or as a video encoder for VLMs. To load a video, sample the number of frames according to the model. For this model, we use 64. To load an image, simply copy the image to the desired number of frames. For more code examples, please refer to the V-JEPA 2…
