Meta AI cross-modal SSL that predicts its own latent representations (closest non-JEPA cousin in spirit); inherits the word2vec/wav2vec lineage, so '2' is 'to' and 'vec' is 'vek' — 'DAY-tuh-too-vek'.
Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.
