Summary
According to a post on X by @lukaskuhn77, Lukas Kuhn introduced LeVJEPA 1.5 Large, described as the first step in scaling the method. The team says it closes the gap to V-JEPA on image and video benchmarks while using 5.6x less compute and over an order of magnitude less data. The weights are available on Hugging Face. These figures come from the team's own claims in the post.

What happened
Lukas Kuhn introduced LeVJEPA 1.5 Large, the first step in scaling the method, in a mainly video post. The team says it closes the gap to V-JEPA on image and video benchmarks while using 5.6x less compute and over an order of magnitude less data. Weights are on Hugging Face. Why it matters: Cheaper self-supervised...
Why it matters
The post frames cheaper self-supervised video models as important for robotics and world-model research. Teams in those areas may want to compare LeVJEPA 1.5 Large with V-JEPA once they examine the weights and benchmark details. Independent benchmark results would be needed to confirm how the gap closes in practice.
