Summary

In April 2023, we introduced the original SAM model to our platform, and now we are excited to announce the integration of Meta's new Segment Anything Model, SAM 2, into our automated labelling suite just one day after its official release. This rapid integration underscores our commitment to providing customers with access to cutting-edge machine learning techniques faster than ever before. Integrating SAM 2 brings enhanced accuracy and speed to automated segmentation workflows, enhancing both throughput and user experience. We are starting by bringing SAM 2 into image segmentation tasks, where it's been benchmarked to perform up to 6x faster than SAM, and we also look forward to introducing the VOS capabilities of SAM 2, enhancing performance on automating video segmentation technologies already in Encord. SAM 2 is being made available to all customers via Encord Labs, and users can enable it by navigating to their settings and enabling the switch for SAM 2. We invite our customers to try out SAM 2 and experience its benefits firsthand, providing unparalleled accuracy and speed in data annotation, and we value their feedback to continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in machine learning annotation and evaluation.
