ScribblePrompt-SAM

Open weights Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) July 2024

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

This model's weights are open, but no parameter count has been published for it. Every memory and speed figure starts from that number, so we would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

Background

ScribblePrompt-SAM was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), in United States of America, in July 2024. academia is the category the publisher falls under.

It works in Vision, Biology, Medicine, and is recorded as doing image segmentation.

It builds on Segment Anything Model, which is why it shares that model's general shape and size.

The weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware indefinitely, offline, with no account attached.

Answers

ScribblePrompt-SAM — common questions

01

Who created ScribblePrompt-SAM?

ScribblePrompt-SAM was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), based in United States of America, categorised as academia.

02

When was ScribblePrompt-SAM released?

ScribblePrompt-SAM was published in July 2024. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

03

What is ScribblePrompt-SAM used for?

ScribblePrompt-SAM works in Vision, Biology, Medicine, and is recorded as handling image segmentation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

04

Where can I download ScribblePrompt-SAM?

The weights for ScribblePrompt-SAM are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

05

What GPU do I need to run ScribblePrompt-SAM?

We cannot say. ScribblePrompt-SAM has open weights, but no parameter count has been published for it, and every memory and speed calculation starts from that number. We would rather show nothing than a fabricated estimate.

06

Is ScribblePrompt-SAM open source?

Its weights are published, so ScribblePrompt-SAM can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

07

How many parameters does ScribblePrompt-SAM have?

No parameter count has been published for ScribblePrompt-SAM, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
