🚀 The Segment Anything Model (SAM) has been upgraded... to SAM2, featuring an efficient image encoder for segmenting images and videos. But does SAM2 outperform SAM1 in medical image and video segmentation? We're thrilled to present our paper "Segment Anything in Medical Images and Videos: Benchmark and Deployment"! We comprehensively benchmark SAM2 across 11 medical image modalities and videos. 📄 Paper: 💻 Code: **Highlights:** 1. SAM2 doesn’t always outperform SAM1 in 2D medical images, but excels in video segmentation, making it more accurate and efficient for 3D images, such as CT and MR scans. 2. MedSAM still outperforms SAM2 on most 2D modalities, but SAM2 surpasses MedSAM for 3D image segmentation in a slice-by-slice approach. 3. Segmentation performance varies with model size; sometimes the smallest model outperforms larger ones. 4. Fine-tuning SAM2 significantly boosts its performance for medical image segmentation. While SAM2 may struggle with challenging objects that have unclear boundaries or low contrast, it excels in generating good initial segmentation masks for common medical images and videos. However, the official interface doesn’t support medical data formats and has limitations on video length. To address this, we've developed a 3D Slicer Plugin and Gradio API for efficient 3D medical image and video segmentation. We invite you to try them out and provide feedback! 🔧 Deployment: - 3D Slicer Plugin: - Gradio API: (Note: Due to GPU limitations, the online API is available for only 12 hours and may be slow. We highly recommend deploying the Gradio API with your own computing resources: A big shoutout to Jun Ma (JunMa) who recently joined our UHN AI hub (UHN AI Hub) as Machine Learning Lead, and kudos to all co-authors: Sumin Kim, Feifei Li, Mohammed Baharoon (Mohammed Baharoon), Reza Asakereh, and Hongwei Lyu! This is true teamwork! Looking forward to collaborating with the community to advance 3D medical image and video segmentation foundation models!

NVIDIA might have just declared war on the cloud... GPU business For years, AI builders had one option Rent compute Pay every month Watch the bill grow every time usage increased Now NVIDIA is putting serious AI hardware directly on people's desks Small enough to fit next to a monitor Powerful enough to run workloads that used to require expensive cloud infrastructure That's why this launch is getting so much attention The real story isn't the hardware specs It's the business model shift Every month, developers send money to cloud providers for inference, testing, fine-tuning and AI applications The question nobody can answer yet is what happens if enough developers decide they'd rather buy infrastructure once than rent it forever Because if local AI hardware keeps getting more powerful, the economics start changing very quickly Cloud providers built empires on renting access to compute NVIDIA is betting more people will eventually want to own it And that's a much bigger story than a new piece of hardware sitting on a deskshow more
