Cross-modal alignment follows a scaling law, validated across 85 new runs

The alignment between JEPAs and vision models follows a scaling law in the fraction of good views and samples seen. The authors registered its predictions, then ran 85 new experiments: the law predicted outcomes as accurately as rerunning with a different seed. Attached chart shows alignment vs log-scale samples across good-view fractions.
