Meta is helping build a future where people have more ways to play and connect in the metaverse. Welcome to the next chapter of social connection.
Launched on May 8th, 2025
Provides affordable VR headsets. I use my Meta Quest 3 with Immersed VR to do my screen time in a virtual environment. Recent controversy from Zuck, including his misogyny and friendships with fascist tech bros and political leaders, however, made it less exciting to be associated with Meta products. =\
I'm interested to see how this will work out. I don't have Instagram and I don't really want to 'get it' either but I do want to see what this is like and whether it's social like Facebook or more open like Twitter. I'm also not sure if people will really use it all that much. Either way, if I was Elon I'd be kind of worried, especially as this has the added bonus of being propped up by Instagram rather than being largely sperate from FB / IG.
👋 Hey Hunters!
Introducing Meta Perception Encoder — Meta FAIR's powerful new family of vision-language models!
From zero-shot classification to multimodal reasoning, PE pushes the boundaries of what's possible in computer vision. With variants like PE-Core, PE-Lang, and PE-Spatial, it’s designed to tackle everything from image understanding to dense spatial tasks — all using a single contrastive objective.
What’s exciting?
✅ Intermediate embeddings for richer representations
✅ Advanced alignment techniques
✅ Strong zero-shot and retrieval performance
✅ Open-source and research-friendly!
Built for researchers, developers, and AI enthusiasts alike — let’s reimagine visual understanding together.
Would love your feedback! 💬👇
@saaswarrior Super impressive launch! Love the focus on visual understanding. How beginner-friendly is it for someone just getting into AI?

Hey guys, can you please upload the video for this launch again? (ATM, it doesn't show the thumbnail)
After republishing, the bug should be removed.
P.S.: This is very interesting. Something similar to the understanding of videos I saw 2 days ago, hunted by @zaczuo – Twelvelabs + some kind of "video reading" have seen in Notebooks.app by @dev_singh
@busmark_w_nika I have just edited the video.

@saaswarrior I can see the final result, good job! :)
@busmark_w_nika For 12Labs it should be @jaelee_ to take all the credits!🙌

Congrats on the launch! Curious to see what models it surpasses
