CO3Dv2 (Common Objects in 3D, version 2) is a large-scale 3D computer vision dataset and toolkit from Facebook Research designed for training and evaluating category-level 3D reconstruction methods using real-world data. It builds upon the original CO3Dv1 dataset, expanding both scale and quality—featuring 2× more sequences and 4× more frames, with improved image fidelity, more accurate segmentation masks, and enhanced annotations for object-centric 3D reconstruction. CO3Dv2 enables research in multi-view 3D reconstruction, novel view synthesis, and geometry-aware representation learning. Each of the thousands of sequences in CO3Dv2 captures a common object (from categories like cars, chairs, or plants) from multiple real-world viewpoints. The dataset includes RGB images, depth maps, masks, and camera poses for each frame, along with pre-defined training, validation, and testing splits for both few-view and many-view reconstruction tasks.

FlashMLA is a high-performance decoding kernel library designed especially for Multi-Head Latent Attention (MLA) workloads, targeting NVIDIA Hopper GPU architectures. It provides optimized kernels for MLA decoding, including support for variable-length sequences, helping reduce latency and increase throughput in model inference systems using that attention style. The library supports both BF16 and FP16 data types, and includes a paged KV cache implementation with a block size of 64 to efficiently manage memory during decoding. On very compute-bound settings, it can reach up to ~660 TFLOPS on H800 SXM5 hardware, while in memory-bound configurations it can push memory throughput to ~3000 GB/s. The team regularly updates it with performance improvements; for example, a 2025 update claims 5 % to 15 % gains on compute-bound workloads while maintaining API compatibility.

uCO3D is a large-scale 3D vision dataset and toolkit centered on turn-table videos of everyday objects drawn from the LVIS taxonomy. It provides about 170,000 full videos per object instance rather than still frames, along with per-video annotations including object masks, calibrated camera poses, and multiple flavors of point clouds. Each sequence also ships with a precomputed 3D Gaussian Splat reconstruction, enabling fast, differentiable rendering workflows and modern implicit/point-based modeling experiments. The repository includes automated downloaders with checksum verification, fine-grained controls to fetch only selected modalities or super-categories, and a lightweight Python API for loading frames, geometry, and splats on demand. Metadata is indexed in SQLite for quick queries at scale, and helper builders handle alignment, undistortion, frame extraction from videos, and cropping around the object.
