Meta Perception Encoder

Vision encoder setting new standards in image & video tasks

Meta Perception Encoder launched on May 8, 2025 with 122 votes, #365 of 7,905 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

A vision encoder setting new standards in image & video tasks. It excels in zero-shot classification & retrieval, surpassing existing models.

Meta FAIR is releasing several new research artifacts that advance our understanding of perception and support our goal of achieving advanced machine...

As we work toward achieving our goal of advanced machine intelligence (AMI), it’s important to have models, benchmarks, and datasets that focus on perception. We need machines that are able to acquire, process, and interpret sensory information about the world around us and are able to use this information to make decisions with human-like intelligence and speed. Today, we’re excited to publicly release five new works from our Meta Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team that bring us closer to that goal. We’re excited to introduce Perception Encoder, a large-scale vision encoder that excels across several vision tasks for images and video. Vision encoders act as the “eyes” that enable AI…from ai.meta.com

  • Multimodal perception system for real-time conversationFeb 2026 · raven.tavuslabs.org · ▲54

    I work on real-time voice/video AI at Tavus and for the past few years, I’ve mostly focused on how machines respond in a conversation. One thing that’s always bothered me is that almost all conversational systems still reduce everything to transcripts, and throw away a ton of signals that need to be used downstream. Some existing emotion understanding models try to analyze and classify into small sets of arbitrary boxes, but they either aren’t fast / rich enough to do this with conviction in real-time. So I built a multimodal perception system which gives us a way to encode visual…

  • Ideogram 4.0 – open-weight 9.3B text-to-image modelJun 2026 · github.com · ▲46

    It's our new text-to-image model: a 9.3B single-stream diffusion transformer trained entirely from scratch. We focused heavily on controllability through structured JSON prompts, with strong text rendering, spatial awareness through bounding box guidance, and color palette control. It has the best text rendering of any open-weight model we've tested so far, and the NF4 quantized checkpoint runs on a single 24GB GPU. For more technical details and examples see our blog post: https://ideogram.ai/blog/ideogram-4.0/ We will be happy to answer any questions :)

  • Tapflow 2.0▲1,125

    We built Tapflow for devs, designers, PMs, and tech folks who’ve been sitting on internal docs, templates, and systems — but never productized them. Upload a PDF, notes, or workshop deck, and Tapflow drafts a structured product (with chapters, teaser and pricing plans). It’s good for AI kits, onboarding guides, design systems, and frameworks. You can sell through Stripe, LemonSqueezy, or PayPal. Real-time collaboration is in early beta. No site builder, no LMS — clean design and just focused tools to ship. Fully bootstrapped and just launched on PH today →…
