Where V-JEPA 2.1's Dense Features Hold Up (and Where They Don't)

A pre-registered robustness study on Meta’s V-JEPA 2.1 across four model sizes reveals that dense features are partitioned between temporal and image-noise corruption, bigger models are not necessarily more robust, and the model is orientation-sensitive. These findings have practical implications for robotics deployment.

Key points

  • V-JEPA 2.1 features show two independent axes: temporal and image-content, with stability metrics only reliable for temporal corruption.
  • Robustness does not scale monotonically; the 2B model is less robust than 1B on three perturbations.
  • Horizontal flipping disrupts features as severely as playing the video backwards, indicating strong orientation sensitivity.
  • For robotics, model selection must be empirical per application, and task-grounded evaluation is needed when image noise dominates.
