What is SAM, Meta's Amazing new AI
SAM, promptable segmentation and the largest segmentation dataset to date!
Good morning fellow AI enthusiast! This week's iteration focuses on SAM; Meta's newest AI able to... segment anything (it's also the name of the model...)! They released it open-source along with an incredible dataset. You can also try it with their online demo. In this iteration, we also share the winner of the 4080 GPU 😎. Good luck if you participated, and we hope you enjoy this iteration!

1️⃣ [Sponsor] How to Measure Model Drift
Models in production often suffer from drift impacting their performance. Learn why model drift matters, how to measure it, types of drifts, differences between measurement metrics, and when to use one over another.
2️⃣ Segment Anything! Meta's Amazing New AI 🤖
Segmentation - it's like the photo world's equivalent of playing detective. This superpower allows you to identify anything and everything in an image, from objects to people, with pixel-perfect precision. It's a game-changer for all kinds of applications, like autonomous vehicles that need to know what's going on around them, whether it's a car or a pedestrian.
You also definitely know about prompting by now. But have you heard of promptable segmentation? It's the newest kid on the block, and it’s really cool. With this new trick up your sleeve, you can prompt your AI model to segment anything you want - and I mean anything! Thanks to Meta's incredible new SAM (Segment Anything Model), there's no limit to what you can do.
If you're curious about how promptable segmentation and the SAM model work their magic, then you won't want to miss out on my video. In it, you'll learn all about how this amazing new technology is changing the game when it comes to image segmentation. So sit back, relax, and let me take you on a journey into the world of promptable segmentation with SAM. Trust me, you won't regret it! (or read more in the article)
