LeVJEPA is a video encoder that eliminates the need for architectural asymmetries, exponential-moving-average target encoders, stop-gradients, and capacity-limited predictors used in prior self‑supervised methods. It trains a single encoder with an invariance loss over global and local views, regularized by SIGReg to prevent collapse, and achieves strong performance with far less pretraining compute. The approach also allows block‑causal attention, making temporal ordering a property of the encoder itself, and matches or surpasses state‑of‑the‑art baselines on both appearance‑centric and motion‑centric benchmarks.

The paper introduces VANE, a self‑supervised visual pretraining framework that learns from next‑frame prediction in embedding space. It uses a causal encoder to summarize past observations, a state predictor to infer the representation of the entire next frame, and a lightweight generative decoder to reconstruct fine‑grained spatial detail. By applying the same objective to both videos and still images through a local‑to‑global crop sequence, VANE achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance on anticipation, recognition, and dense perception benchmarks, notably outperforming V‑JEPA on EPIC‑KITCHENS‑100 action anticipation.
