LeCun's new paper takes a new approach to building JEPA, which he named LeJEPA -- https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.08544
It's not that different in the underlying theory but he removes the EMA and the twin tower, makes the whole thing more straightforward.
Okay I see it now, but it's briefly mentioned without describing the mechanism. The author didn't annotate it the same way they annotated JEPA. I feel like LeJEPA should take precedence in the article since it supersedes JEPA.
It looks like LeJEPA is sub-1B params and tested on vision tasks? (https://github.com/galilai-group/lejepa)
I had assumed the JEPA family will also be multimodal and agentic capable, perhaps just needs them scaling laws applied?
