Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: suite for human-centric tasks (2D pose, part segmentation, depth, normals) pretrained on 300 million in-the-wild human images, natively 1024x1024 with patch size 16; Sapiens-Lite described as 4x faster; checkpoints at huggingface.co/facebook/sapiens. · source: https://github.com/facebookresearch/sapiens
- [sourced_fact] README announces Sapiens2 and links the facebookresearch/sapiens2 repository. · source: https://github.com/facebookresearch/sapiens
- [sourced_fact] LICENSE file is Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International. · source: https://github.com/facebookresearch/sapiens/blob/main/LICENSE
- [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.
