Depth Anything 3 (DA3) is ByteDance Seed's **geometry foundation**: beyond monocular depth it predicts **multi-view consistent** geometry. This card is the in-tree official **SOH export** route (`DepthAnything3Pipeline`). It is **not** the verified metric prior at [depth-anything-v3-prior](/docs/guides/supported-models/depth-anything-v3-prior). Aliases `da3` and `depth-anything-3` resolve here.
The official paper is on [arXiv 2511.10647](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.10647). Project: [depth-anything-3.github.io](https://depth-anything-3.github.io/). Code: [ByteDance-Seed/Depth-Anything-3](https://github.com/ByteDance-Seed/Depth-Anything-3). Weights: `depth-anything/DA3-LARGE` (**apache-2.0**).
Status: **Runner parity pending**. Recipe env / VRAM / artifact rows are unset — inspect with `model-show` after staging.
## What it is for
Full DA3 SOH export. Need only metric depth? Use the prior sibling.
Launch `worldfoundry-eval run depth-anything-v3` with `--pipeline.task-profile official-soh-export`.
## Runtime contract
Required: `input_path`; optional: `export_format`, `process_res`, `process_res_method`, `max_frames`, `frame_stride`, and `infer_gs`.
| Knob | Default |
| --- | --- |
| `input_path` | bundled SOH example under `data/test_cases/depth_anything_v3/examples/SOH` |
| `export_format` | `mini_npz` |
| `process_res` | **504** |
| `process_res_method` | `upper_bound_resize` |
| `max_frames` | **2** |
| `frame_stride` | **1** |
| `infer_gs` | **false** |
## Run in WorldFoundry
Status: **Runner parity pending**. Stage weights locally — the runtime does not download them. Run `worldfoundry-eval run depth-anything-v3` with `--pipeline.task-profile official-soh-export`. Catalog VRAM is unset.
