Meta's SAM 3 and DINOv3 run on 300 A100s inside the Energy Department's Genesis Mission imaging pipeline
Berkeley Lab's SYNAPS-I project fine-tuned the open models on government infrastructure, and Meta says some analyses fell from a month to 15 minutes.
Meta says its open-weight vision models are part of the first wave of projects under the Genesis Mission, the White House initiative led by the Department of Energy (DOE) to apply AI to science. In the Berkeley Lab-led SYNAPS-I project (Syn…

Part of a tracked trend
Open-Weight Vision Models Move Into National Lab Beamlines and Assistive Robotics
Fine-tunable open-weight perception models keep displacing expert annotation and custom vision stacks in government science and assistive robotics, where data must stay on the operator's own infrastructure.
