    EfficientSAM ViT-S

    yformer/EfficientSAM (efficient_sam_vits.pt)

    EfficientSAM ViT-S is a image segmentation model (Apache-2.0). Not runnable on Mixpeek today.

    Something blocks it today, such as the license, remote code or a GPU-only runtime. The reason is below.

    No demo for EfficientSAM ViT-S yet

    A video, image, slideshow or playground goes here once we record one on our own data.

    What it is good and bad at

    Best at
    SAM-style point and box prompted masks at a fraction of SAM ViT-H cost (masked-image pretraining distillation).
    Worst at
    Images only (no video memory); below SAM 2 tiny in quality and tooling.

    How it runs

    Status
    Not runnable today Weights ship as .pt pickles (ViT-S zipped) and the model code lives in the GitHub repo; needs a safetensors conversion and a vendored model definition (or the repo's ONNX export) before it can be a plugin. SAM 2.1 tiny covers the same need with transformers support.

    Questions

    What is EfficientSAM ViT-S best at?
    SAM-style point and box prompted masks at a fraction of SAM ViT-H cost (masked-image pretraining distillation).
    What are the limits of EfficientSAM ViT-S?
    Images only (no video memory); below SAM 2 tiny in quality and tooling.
    Can EfficientSAM ViT-S be used commercially?
    Yes. Apache-2.0 weights and code; no use restrictions.
    How does EfficientSAM ViT-S run on Mixpeek?
    Weights ship as .pt pickles (ViT-S zipped) and the model code lives in the GitHub repo; needs a safetensors conversion and a vendored model definition (or the repo's ONNX export) before it can be a plugin. SAM 2.1 tiny covers the same need with transformers support.
