🚗 Ever wondered if an AI model could learn to drive just by watching YouTube? 🎥👀

We trained a 1.2B parameter model on 1,800+ hours of raw driving videos.

No labels. No maps. Just pure observation.

And it works! 🤯

The PhD graduation season in the team goes on!
Today, Corentin Sautier is defending his PhD on "Learning Actionable LiDAR Representations without Annotations".
Good luck! 🚀
Another great event for @valeoai.bsky.social team: a PhD defense of Corentin Sautier.

His thesis «Learning Actionable LiDAR Representations w/o Annotations» covers the papers BEVContrast (learning self-sup LiDAR features), SLidR, ScaLR (distillation), UNIT and Alpine (solving tasks w/o labels).

Check out DIP (Dense In-context Post-training) @iccv.bsky.social: an effective post-training strategy to unleash dense awareness of features from your favorite pre-trained encoder (DINOv2, CLIP, MAE)
We leverage meta-learning-like pseudo-tasks w/ pseudo-labels.
Kudos @ssirko.bsky.social 👇
