Left: one world observed as images and as texts, with good views (two photos, two captions) making an image JEPA and a text JEPA equal up to one rotation. Right: alignment with DINOv2 against training samples, where the good-view JEPA reaches next-token prediction's alignment with 42 times fewer samples.
