# 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.
