Berkeley Lab Runs Meta's Open Perception Models Across 300 GPUs to Cut Beamline Analysis From a Month to Minutes
The SYNAPS-I project pairs DINOv3 features with SAM 3 segmentation on Department of Energy light and neutron source data, enabling three-dimensional reconstruction while an experiment is still running.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's SYNAPS-I project uses Meta's open-weight SAM 3 and DINOv3 models to process imaging data from Department of Energy light and neutron source facilities, which now generate tens of petabytes a year. The…

Part of a tracked trend
Open-Vocabulary, Promptable Vision Foundation Models
Vision foundation models shift to text-promptable, open-vocabulary detection, segmentation, and real-time tracking of arbitrary concepts, generalizing perception beyond fixed label sets across images and video and pushing open perception models toward production use.
