Hi from the Segment Anything team! Today we’re releasing Segment Anything Model 2! It's the first unified model for real-time promptable object segmentation in images and videos! We're releasing the code, models, dataset, research paper and a demo! We're excited to see what everyone builds! https://ai.meta.com/blog/segment-anything-2/

Huge fan of the SAM work, one of the most underrated models.

My favorite use case is that it slays for memes. Try getting a good alpha mask of Fassbender Turtleneck any other way.

Keep doing stuff like this. <3

Code, model, data and under Apache 2.0. Impressive.

Curious how this was allowed to be more open source compared to Llama's interesting new take on "open source". Are other projects restricted in some form due to technical/legal issues and the desire is to be more like this project? Or was there an initiative to break the mold this time round?

Has anyone built anything cool with the original SAM? What did you build?

As mentioned in another comment I use it all the time for zero-shot segmentation to do quick image collage type work (former FB-folks take their memes very seriously). It’s crazy good at doing plausible separations on parts of an image with no difference at the pixel level.

Someone who knows Creative Suite can comment on what Photoshop can do on this these days, one imagines it’s something, but the SAM stuff is so fast it can run in low-spec settings.

will the model ever be extended to being able to segment audio (eg. different people talking, different instruments in a soundtrack?)
