LeVJEPA ViT-L/16 (VideoMix) — GGUF for jepa.cpp

The community LeVJEPA ViT-L/16 video encoder, trained from scratch on VideoMix (Kinetics-710, SSv2, Walking Tours, PE-Video), converted to GGUF for jepa.cpp — a ggml C/C++ engine that runs it on a plain CPU with no Python and no PyTorch. Tubelet 1 and a block-causal attention mask — bidirectional inside a frame, causal across frames, with the CLS token a read-only sink. The feature is that CLS token.

303 M parameters; D = 1024, 24 layers, 16 heads, patch 16, 224x224. Everything the engine needs — dimensions, positional scheme, preprocessing recipe, and class labels where there are any — travels inside the file, so inference needs one binary and one GGUF and nothing else.

Run it

git clone --recursive https://github.com/aselimc/jepa.cpp && cd jepa.cpp
cmake -S . -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build -j
hf download jepacpp/levjepa-vitl16-GGUF levjepa-vitl16-f16.gguf --local-dir models/gguf

# a clip -> a CLS feature (a still image is repeated to the model's frame count, as its card does)
build/jepa-embed -m levjepa-vitl16-f16.gguf --frames-npy clip.npy --pool cls -t 32 -o feat.npy
build/jepa-embed -m levjepa-vitl16-f16.gguf -i photo.jpg          --pool cls -t 32

--pool selects mean, cls, lewm or none (the full token map); -o writes a .npy. scripts/download_models.sh fetches whole sets at once. The C API is one header, include/jepa.h — full reference on the C API page.

Tiers. exact — reproduces the PyTorch reference to the printed precision on the CPU. parity — passes its family's test-parity thresholds. advisory — below 8 bits per weight, which is not a parity configuration: the results are reported, only the derived tensors and the top-1 are gated.

Measured

Every figure below is read from a committed artifact of jepa.cpp c952229 by scripts/hf_publish.py — parity, quantization, accuracy, performance and tests/results/*.json.

UCF-101 k-NN — 10 classes, 105 query clips (val+test) against a gallery of 300, 16 frames per clip, k = 20 cosine vote over frozen features. Nothing is trained.

Speed — the encoder graph at f16 on 32 threads (AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX 96-Cores): 1496 ms per 16-frame clip against PyTorch's 1752 ms. The same shape on NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation: 87.6 ms. Peak RSS at f16: 779 MiB.

No low-cosine token tail. Where the V-JEPA 2 ViT-L encoders drop individual tokens badly at f16, not one of this model's tokens does on any fixture — its reference row norms sit in a narrow band, so the F16 activation rounding has no degenerate low-norm cluster to amplify. Its rows are all a multiple of the K-quant block, so the K-quants never fall back.

The source checkpoint is published by galilai-group under Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International: license: cc-by-nc-4.0 in the model card's metadata, the repository's only licence statement (it ships no LICENSE file). The weights were trained from scratch, so the restriction is the publisher's own choice rather than inherited. These GGUF files are Adapted Material — the same weights re-serialised into the GGUF container, quantized where the file name says so — so they carry the same licence, credit galilai-group, and are marked as modified.

The licence travels inside every GGUF as general.license and the origin as general.source_url; build/jepa-info <file> --kv prints them. jepa.cpp's own code is MIT.

jepa-quantize re-types only the 2-D attention / FFN / projection / classifier matrices; patch embeddings, position tables, norms and biases keep the source type. The rules are in docs/gguf-schema.md.
