Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: Cutie (UIUC and Adobe, CVPR 2024 Highlight) with arXiv link; scripting_demo.py is the suggested starting point for use in a project; GUI adds 'permanent memory' from XMem++. · locator: README, intro and usage · source: https://github.com/hkchengrex/Cutie
- [sourced_fact] README notes the GUI uses RITM for interactive segmentation and redistributes its code in gui/ritm under RITM's license. · locator: README, acknowledgements · source: https://github.com/hkchengrex/Cutie
- [sourced_fact] GitHub metadata: MIT, not archived, last push 2024-11-08. · locator: repository metadata · source: https://github.com/hkchengrex/Cutie
- [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.
