SAM 3 Is Here: Meta's Latest Vision AI Can Now Understand Your Words
Meta has released SAM 3, the latest version of its Segment Anything Model (SAM) that can now understand text prompts to perform object detection, segmentation, and tracking.
Why it matters
SAM 3 represents a significant advancement in computer vision, making object detection and segmentation more accessible and intuitive for users.
Key Points
- 1SAM 3 introduces open vocabulary segmentation, allowing users to simply describe what they want to segment instead of specifying location
- 2It has a unified vision foundation that works across images, video, and 3D, enabling consistent object tracking and 3D reconstruction
- 3SAM 3 is optimized for efficient inference, breaking the trend of heavier models with more features
Details
SAM 3 represents a significant leap in multimodal segmentation capabilities compared to previous versions. The key advancements include open vocabulary segmentation, where users can simply describe what they want to detect and segment instead of specifying the location. This unifies detection, segmentation, and tracking. SAM 3 also has a shared vision backbone that works across images, video, and 3D, enabling consistent object tracking and 3D reconstruction. Despite these expanded capabilities, the model has been optimized for efficient inference, breaking the typical trend of heavier models with more features.
