Segment Anything Model (SAM)
Comprehensive guide to using Meta AI's Segment Anything Model for zero-shot image segmentation.
When to use SAM
Use SAM when:
- Need to segment any object in images without task-specific training
- Building interactive annotation tools with point/box prompts
- Generating training data for other vision models
- Need zero-shot transfer to new image domains
- Building object detection/segmentation pipelines
- Processing medical, satellite, or domain-specific images
Key features:
- Zero-shot segmentation: Works on any image domain without fine-tuning
- Flexible prompts: Points, bounding boxes, or previous masks
- Automatic segmentation: Generate all object masks automatically
- High quality: Trained on 1.1 billion masks from 11 million images

Track ML experiments, manage model registry with versioning, deploy models to production, and reproduce experiments with MLflow - framework-agnostic ML lifecycle platform
266faiss
Facebook's library for efficient similarity search and clustering of dense vectors. Supports billions of vectors, GPU acceleration, and various index types (Flat, IVF, HNSW). Use for fast k-NN search, large-scale vector retrieval, or when you need pure similarity search without metadata. Best for high-performance applications.
262tensorrt-llm
Optimizes LLM inference with NVIDIA TensorRT for maximum throughput and lowest latency. Use for production deployment on NVIDIA GPUs (A100/H100), when you need 10-100x faster inference than PyTorch, or for serving models with quantization (FP8/INT4), in-flight batching, and multi-GPU scaling.
260serving-llms-vllm
Serves LLMs with high throughput using vLLM's PagedAttention and continuous batching. Use when deploying production LLM APIs, optimizing inference latency/throughput, or serving models with limited GPU memory. Supports OpenAI-compatible endpoints, quantization (GPTQ/AWQ/FP8), and tensor parallelism.
