Researcher claims JEPA-titled models underperform DINO, mocks LeCun shoutout chasing

Gabriele Berton sparked a mini AI-community drama by asserting that "models with JEPA in their title are usually bad — LeJEPA is much worse than DINO in practice." A quoted French PhD student joked that her supervisor uses the JEPA name hoping to get a shoutout from LeCun (1.3M followers). Berton says he disagrees with that motivation but understands it — implying "JEPA" has become a label for courting LeCun's attention.
