Video-Native Multimodal Models for Video and Image Understanding
In this 20-minute talk, Akshat will introduce Perceptron’s latest release, a video-native multimodal model that matches or exceeds frontier models from Google and Alibaba on video and image understanding at a fraction of their inference cost. He’ll walk through the capabilities that move the needle for real video workloads: temporal grounding to clip precise events from long streams, egocentric reasoning for first-person and wearable contexts, and structured “thinking traces” that reason over motion and physical space. He’ll also cover the image-side advances production perception teams care about: reliable pointing, point-by-example one-shot visual search, dense counting, dial/gauge/clock reading, and structured document extraction.
About the Speaker
Akshat Shrivastava is the CTO and co-founder of Perceptron, previously leading AR On-Device at Meta and conducting research at UW.
Getting Started with Perceptron AI in FiftyOne
In the second half of the session, Harpreet Sahota will walk through how to get started using Perceptron’s video-native multimodal model within FiftyOne for real-world video understanding workflows. He’ll demonstrate how to connect to the API, explore multimodal outputs inside FiftyOne, and build practical workflows for tasks like temporal event analysis, visual search, and video dataset inspection. Attendees will leave with a hands-on understanding of how to integrate state-of-the-art video perception models into their existing computer vision pipelines.
About the Speaker
Harpreet Sahota is a hacker-in-residence and machine learning engineer with a passion for deep learning and generative AI. He’s got a deep interest in VLMs, Visual Agents, Document AI, and Physical AI.
