No This is novel visual representation research: a new pretrained ViT encoder requiring large-scale training, evaluation across many encoders, and research-grade expertise.
What it would actually take: Reproducing it means pretraining a ViT-B/16 from scratch with language, pixel reconstruction, and spatial correspondence objectives, then cross-view self-distillation. That requires ML research expertise, large GPU compute, and curated image-text datasets. The evaluation harness (LIBERO probes, Flickr30k retrieval, world-model planning) is also substantial.
