Meta unveils SAM 2 for video AI

Quick Take: Meta just dropped SAM 2, their latest AI model that can track and identify objects across video frames in real-time—a huge leap for video AI tech.
Ease into investing
“Ease” being the key word. With automated tools like portfolio rebalancing and dividend reinvestment, Betterment makes investing easy for you, and a total grind for your money.
What’s New:
- SAM 2 expands from just image segmentation to full-on video, even handling fast movements and hidden objects like a pro.
- It lets you cut out any object in a video with just a few clicks, and there's a free demo you can check out.
- Meta is open-sourcing the model and dropping a massive database of 50,000 annotated videos used for training.
Why You Should Care: SAM 2 could make complex video editing tasks like removing or replacing objects as simple as clicking a button. Paired with last week’s Llama 3.1 release, this shows Meta’s serious about rolling out big, open AI breakthroughs.
