## JEPA Next Steps

The core JEPA stack (Batches 20–26) is implemented and tested. The gap between the current CPU-testable implementation and a production multi-node cluster run spans six areas:

### 1. GPU Backend Wiring
`CpuViTEncoder` runs pure f32 CPU math. The `JepaEncoder` trait is designed for substitution — the next step is implementing `GpuViTEncoder` that dispatches through `rtx-tensor`'s CUDA backend, enabling FP8 forward on Blackwell SM_120.

### 2. Real ViT Backbone Integration
`rtx-vision/models/vit.rs` has a production ViT. Wire it to implement `JepaEncoder` so `JepaTrainerV2` uses the real backbone instead of `CpuViTEncoder`. This is the single highest-impact integration.

### 3. ImageNet-Scale Data Pipeline
`WebDatasetShard` has the descriptor but `JepaDataPipeline::from_filesystem()` is a stub. Implement actual tar shard reading (WebDataset format), shuffle buffers, and worker-parallel prefetch for multi-node ImageNet.

### 4. Multi-Node AllReduce
`JepaParallelConfig` auto-selects TP/PP/DP. Wire the gradient AllReduce calls through `rtx-distributed::nccl` for actual multi-GPU / multi-node data-parallel training.

### 5. Training Loop CLI
Add a `jepa-train` binary (or subcommand of `rtx-bench`) that reads a TOML config, instantiates `JepaTrainerV2`, runs the data pipeline, logs metrics, and checkpoints via DCP.

### 6. Downstream Evaluation Harness
Wire `JepaEvaluator::linear_probe()` and `knn_eval()` into `rtx-eval` CLI for end-to-end ImageNet linear probe reporting — the canonical JEPA quality metric.
