Architecture changes:
- Asymmetric DINOv3: WEB (drone) + SAT (satellite) with separate MONA
- MONA on all 24 blocks per encoder (was last 12)
- Remove projection, native 1024-dim retrieval space (was 512)
- Total: 748M params, 17.6M trainable (2.35%)
Hard negative memory bank:
- MoCo-style FIFO queue of 4096 detached gallery embeddings
- Each batch: B in-batch + Q queue negatives in InfoNCE
- Queue updated after each forward pass
Training config:
- batch_size=8, grad_accum=8, effective_batch=64
- eval_every=1 (eval + train recall every epoch)
- Max bs=24 with grad checkpointing on RTX 4090
