Evidence claims

[upstream_claim] README: repository provides inference and fine-tuning code, checkpoint download links and example notebooks; requires a CUDA-compatible GPU with CUDA 12.6 or higher. · locator: README, Installation source
[upstream_claim] Paper abstract: SAM 3 detects, segments and tracks objects from concept prompts (noun phrases, image exemplars or both), built on a data engine with 4M unique concept labels; introduces SA-Co benchmark; reported roughly double the accuracy of existing systems on concept segmentation. · locator: arXiv abstract (v2, revised 2026-03-28) source
[sourced_fact] LICENSE is the 'SAM License' (last updated Nov 19, 2025): non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, royalty-free limited license to use, reproduce, distribute and modify SAM Materials (code, weights, docs); redistribution must be under the same agreement; end uses tied to ITAR/trade controls, military or warfare, nuclear etc. are prohibited. · locator: LICENSE, sections 1(a)-(b) and use restrictions source
[upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
