V-JEPA 2

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.

Installation

To run V-JEPA 2 model, ensure you have installed the latest transformers:

pip install -U git+https://github.com/huggingface/transformers

Intended Uses

V-JEPA 2 is intended to represent any video (and image) to perform video classification, retrieval, or as a video encoder for VLMs.

from transformers import AutoVideoProcessor, AutoModel

hf_repo = "facebook/vjepa2-vith-fpc64-256"

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(hf_repo)
processor = AutoVideoProcessor.from_pretrained(hf_repo)

To load a video, sample the number of frames according to the model. For this model, we use 64.

import torch
from torchcodec.decoders import VideoDecoder
import numpy as np

video_url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/nateraw/kinetics-mini/resolve/main/val/archery/-Qz25rXdMjE_000014_000024.mp4"
vr = VideoDecoder(video_url)
frame_idx = np.arange(0, 64) # choosing some frames. here, you can define more complex sampling strategy
video = vr.get_frames_at(indices=frame_idx).data  # T x C x H x W
video = processor(video, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
    video_embeddings = model.get_vision_features(**video)

print(video_embeddings.shape)

To load an image, simply copy the image to the desired number of frames.

from transformers.image_utils import load_image

image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/merve/coco/resolve/main/val2017/000000000285.jpg")
pixel_values = processor(image, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)["pixel_values_videos"]
pixel_values = pixel_values.repeat(1, 16, 1, 1, 1) # repeating image 16 times

with torch.no_grad():
    image_embeddings = model.get_vision_features(pixel_values)    

print(image_embeddings.shape)

For more code examples, please refer to the V-JEPA 2 documentation.

Questions About vjepa2-vith-fpc64-256

How much GPU memory does vjepa2-vith-fpc64-256 need?

About 1.6 GB at 16-bit and 0.4 GB at 4-bit: the weights (654M parameters) plus a working margin. A long context needs more.

What is the cheapest GPU to run vjepa2-vith-fpc64-256 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.

Can I use vjepa2-vith-fpc64-256 commercially?

Yes. vjepa2-vith-fpc64-256 is released under MIT License. The MIT License is a short permissive license. It permits commercial use, modification and redistribution, provided the copyright notice and permission notice are included.

X-CLIP model (large-sized, patch resolution of 14) trained fully-supervised on Kinetics-400. It was introduced in the paper Expanding Language-Image Pretrained Models for General Video Recognition by Ni et al. and first released in this repository. This model was trained using 8 frames per video, at a resolution of 224x224. Disclaimer: The team releasing X-CLIP did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team. X-CLIP is a minimal extension of CLIP for general video-language understanding. The model is trained in a contrastive way on (video, text) pairs. This allows the model to be used for tasks like zero-shot, few-shot or fully…
