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 the country recorded as United States of America, during July 2024. The category the publisher falls under is academia.

It works in the domain of Vision, Biology, Medicine, and is recorded as performing the task of image segmentation.

It builds on Segment Anything Model. That is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

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

ScribblePrompt-SAM— who created it?

It was published by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia.

02

ScribblePrompt-SAM— when was it released?

It 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

ScribblePrompt-SAM— what is it used for?

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

04

ScribblePrompt-SAM— where can I download it?

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

05

ScribblePrompt-SAM— what GPU do I need to run it?

We cannot say. It 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

ScribblePrompt-SAM— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it 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

ScribblePrompt-SAM— how many parameters does it have?

No parameter count has been published for it, 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.
