Recent advances in 2D-to-3D perception have enabled the recovery of 3D scene semantics from unposed images. However, prevailing methods often suffer from limited generalization, reliance on per-scene optimization, and semantic inconsistencies across viewpoints. To address these limitations, we introduce PE3R, a tuning-free framework for efficient and generalizable 3D semantic reconstruction. By integrating multi-view geometry with 2D semantic priors in a feed-forward pipeline, PE3R achieves zero-shot generalization across diverse scenes and object categories without any scene-specific fine-tuning. Extensive evaluations on open-vocabulary segmentation and multi-view depth estimation show that PE3R not only achieves up to 9xfaster inference but also sets new state-of-the-art accuracy in both semantic and geometric metrics. Our approach paves the way for scalable, language-driven 3D scene understanding. Code is available at github.com/hujiecpp/PE3R.
