Web-SSL DINO ViT-3B: 2B MetaCLIP data, 224 Resolution

A 3 billion parameter Vision Transformer (ViT) trained with DINOv2 self-supervised learning on web-scale image data without language supervision. Introduced in "Scaling Language-Free Visual Representation Learning" (Fan et al., 2025).

Model Details

Architecture: ViT (3072 width, 26 depth, 24 heads)
Parameters: 3B
Resolution: 224×224 pixels
Training: Self-supervised Web-DINO on 2B image samples from MetaCLIP web data

Model Descriptions

Web-SSL DINO 3B is a 3 billion parameter Vision Transformer model trained using self-supervised learning on 2 billion web images without language supervision. This model demonstrates that pure visual learning, when scaled appropriately, can match or exceed the performance of language-supervised models like CLIP across various vision tasks. It performs well on both traditional vision benchmarks and multimodal tasks including visual question answering and OCR & chart understanding.

Usage

python

from transformers import AutoImageProcessor, Dinov2Model
import torch
from PIL import Image

processor = AutoImageProcessor.from_pretrained('facebook/webssl-dino3b-full2b-224')
# 'eager' and 'sdpa' attn_implementation supported
model = Dinov2Model.from_pretrained('facebook/webssl-dino3b-full2b-224')

# Process an image
image = Image.open('path/to/image.jpg')
inputs = processor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)

cls_features = outputs.last_hidden_state[:, 0]  # CLS token features
patch_features = outputs.last_hidden_state[:, 1:] # patch-wise token features
