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.

This is V-JEPA 2 model with video classification head pretrained onSomething-Something-V2 dataset.


Installation

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

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

Video classification code snippet

import torch
import numpy as np

from torchcodec.decoders import VideoDecoder
from transformers import AutoVideoProcessor, AutoModelForVideoClassification

device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

# Load model and video preprocessor
hf_repo = "facebook/vjepa2-vitl-fpc16-256-ssv2"

model = AutoModelForVideoClassification.from_pretrained(hf_repo).to(device)
processor = AutoVideoProcessor.from_pretrained(hf_repo)

# To load a video, sample the number of frames according to the model.
video_url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/nateraw/kinetics-mini/resolve/main/val/bowling/-WH-lxmGJVY_000005_000015.mp4"
vr = VideoDecoder(video_url)
frame_idx = np.arange(0, model.config.frames_per_clip, 8) # you can define more complex sampling strategy
video = vr.get_frames_at(indices=frame_idx).data  # frames x channels x height x width

# Preprocess and run inference
inputs = processor(video, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
logits = outputs.logits

print("Top 5 predicted class names:")
top5_indices = logits.topk(5).indices[0]
top5_probs = torch.softmax(logits, dim=-1).topk(5).values[0]
for idx, prob in zip(top5_indices, top5_probs):
    text_label = model.config.id2label[idx.item()]
    print(f" - {text_label}: {prob:.2f}")

Output:

Top 5 predicted class names:
 - Stuffing [something] into [something]: 0.34
 - Putting [something] into [something]: 0.25
 - Putting [something] onto [something]: 0.04
 - Spreading [something] onto [something]: 0.04
 - Closing [something]: 0.03

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…

Antonio Apicella

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…

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…
