🔉 Introducing SAM Audio, the first unified model that isolates any sound from complex audio mixtures using text, visual, or span prompts. We’re sharing SAM Audio with the community, along with a perception encoder model, benchmarks and research papers, to empower others to explore new forms of expression and build applications that were previously out of reach. 🔗 Learn more: go.meta.me/568e5d

Found the perfect sport to stress test Meta's SAM3 person segmentation. Dense crowds, extreme motion, zero structure. This is as tough as it gets, and SAM3 nailed it.

Tested Meta's SAM 3 on some low quality dashcam footage and expected the segmentation to fall apart, but it still picked up every vehicle and even spotted people on the roadside that I hadn't noticed at all.

typing "player with a red shirt" was all it took to train this computer vision model just a few minutes to train the model, export to python, and create this video i'll keep testing roboflow rapid and will report back with the results in the meantime, enjoy the magic of Zlatan
data labeling is dead. long live distillation. from data to object detection endpoint in 90 seconds. link: rapid.roboflow.com

The new SAM3 model from @Meta is blowing my mind Shown here: detecting putting greens, pools, and cars in Scottsdale from simple text prompts via @Mapbox imagery R, Shiny, mapgl for the UI; Python backend via @giswqs's segment-geospatial package (thanks Qiusheng!)

"laundry on the bed", "left light", "right couch" - are not "basic attributes", they are relationships. Easy way to see this: if you masked out other objects, e.g. the bed or one of the couches or lights, the referring phrase becomes incorrect for the target. On the subset that does look like PCS, it can be even better than GT as shown. Not sure what's not to buy. "Ref"COCO is a referring expression benchmark. A different task. Would you train on COCO and and deploy on a RefCOCO like task?

SAM 3 is not a referring expression segmentation model - this is by design. SAM 3 solves Promptable Concept Segmentation (PCS): segmenting objects using simple noun phrases (general categories + basic attributes) and optional exemplars. It's also a robust, composable primitive that works seamlessly with MLLMs. For example, SAM 3 + Gemini 2.5 Pro achieves zero-shot SOTA on RefCOCO+/RefCOCOg referring expression benchmarks. Wondering if this wasn't sufficiently clear from the paper (our bad if so). But also wondering why only referring expression is benchmarked and not any of the benchmarks we reported on—the ones SAM 3 is actually designed for?
SOTA referral segmentation ✅

🚀 The SAMGeo Python package will soon support image segmentation with SAM3, bringing even more power and flexibility to remote sensing workflows. This integration will make high-quality segmentation easier, faster, and more accessible for everyone. 🔗 GitHub PR: github.com/opengeos/segment-… Here’s a quick demo showing building segmentation using just a simple "building" text prompt. The results are incredibly promising! Stay tuned for updates. #GeoAI #SAM3 #OpenSource #Python

Bringing state-of-the-art SAM models to products at @AIatMeta scale has been so fun! A favorite use case we worked on was using SAM 3 & SAM 3D for the “View in Room” feature on Facebook Marketplace—turn any furniture item in a listing to 3D and view it in AR before purchasing

🌟Thrilled to share that SAM 2 was awarded a Best Paper Honourable Mention Award at #ICLR2025, one of 6 papers recognized out of 11000+ submissions! 👏This project was the result of amazing work by an exceptional team at @AIatMeta FAIR: @vgabeur , @YuanTingHu1,@RonghangHu, @wrong_whp, Tengyu Ma, @HaithamKhedr,@raedle, Chloe Rolland, Laura Gustafson, @junting9, @KalyanVasudev, @alcinos26, @chaoyuaw, @inkynumbers, Piotr Dollar, @cfeichtenhofer. 🚀It was inspiring to hear from researchers at ICLR applying SAM to a diverse array of real-world challenges—from medicine and semiconductor manufacturing to robotic navigation, enterprise data annotation platforms, and video editing. If you're using SAM for an innovative application, please reach out, we'd love to hear about it!
