Model checkpoints and inference code for SAM 3D Objects and SAM 3D Body are publicly released, the Segment Anything Playground lets anyone try SAM 3D on their own images, and the MHR parametric human model is shared under a permissive commercial license.

Background

The Segment Anything family has learned depth. SAM 3D ships as two models: SAM 3D Objects, which rebuilds objects and scenes from a single ordinary photo — clutter, occlusion, odd angles and all — and SAM 3D Body, which estimates human pose and shape from one image, built on MHR, a new open parametric human model Meta is sharing under a permissive commercial license. The training story is a data engine: because 3D ground truth is scarce and expensive, annotators rated and ranked meshes proposed by models in the loop, with expert 3D artists routed to the hardest cases, producing annotations for almost a million images and roughly 3.14 million meshes. On the new SA-3DAO artist-built benchmark, Meta says SAM 3D Objects wins head-to-head human preference tests against leading rivals by at least 5 to 1, and returns full textured reconstructions in seconds. The release is open in the way SAM releases usually are: checkpoints and inference code for both models, the benchmark, and a public Segment Anything Playground where anyone can upload a photo and rebuild it in 3D. It is already in a product, too — SAM 3D and the simultaneously launched SAM 3 power Facebook Marketplace's View in Room, which drops a lamp or table into a photo of your space before you buy it. The stated limits are plain: moderate output resolution, objects predicted one at a time with no sense of physical contact, and hands still behind specialized hand-only models.

This market exists because launch announcements are easy to make and hard to grade. Press releases describe what a company intends to ship; they rarely come back later to say whether it shipped. AI Rank Bank pulls one checkable sentence out of the coverage — the sentence above — gives it a date, and lets readers price it in public. The launch itself stays with its publisher; what lives here is the claim, the crowd's call, and eventually the receipt.

How this claim is judged

Judging criteria, fixed when the market opened: Delivered if, at the check time, the SAM 3D release still offers public downloads of checkpoints and inference code for both SAM 3D Objects and SAM 3D Body, the Segment Anything Playground is open for anyone to run SAM 3D on their own images, and MHR remains available under a permissive commercial license. Downloads pulled, the Playground closed to the public, or MHR relicensed on restrictive terms does not count.

The source of record is the publisher's own page linked above. A claim about a company's product is judged against that company's public output — its product pages, documentation, changelogs and official posts — not against rumors or third-party summaries. Only yes-or-no outcomes count: partial credit is not a verdict, and a claim that needs a paragraph of excuses has already answered itself.

How readers called it

No calls yet — the bar is empty and the claim is unpriced.

No reader calls yet. The first call on a claim is priced against a neutral crowd, and pays 50 points if it lands.

Points reward being right against the crowd. A correct call pays 100 × (1 − the share of readers who agreed with you when you placed it), with a floor of 10: side with a 90% consensus and a win pays 10, stand alone and a win pays up to 100. Wrong calls pay nothing. The price is locked in when the call is placed, so early readers are paid for judging before the crowd forms, not for copying it.

How readers split

The split line starts with this market's first snapshots — a point is recorded whenever a reader calls the claim, and at least once an hour while it stays open. Check back after the crowd has moved and the line will be here.

Verdict

No verdict yet. This claim is checked on 2026-10-22 08:00 Eastern Time (12:00 UTC) against the source of record below. When the check happens, one of three stamps lands on this page permanently: delivered if the claim came true as stated, busted if it did not, or unproven if the date passes without public evidence either way. Unproven claims pay no points and do not count against any reader's hit rate.

About this market

AI Rank Bank is an AI news front page with a memory. Every launch on the homepage carries one claim like this one, with a check date. Readers call claims with points, build a public record, and climb the leaderboard. Companies build a record too: every settled claim lands on the company's bank page, where its delivery rate is simple arithmetic that nobody gets to edit afterwards. There is no money in the market — points buy bragging rights only, which keeps the incentives pointed at being right.
