Sa2VA-Qwen3-VL-4B-SAM3
Sa2VA-Qwen3-VL-4B-SAM3 is a Sa2VA model built on Qwen3-VL-4B-Instruct with a SAM3 PVS-tracker grounding encoder. The MLLM predicts a [SEG] token whose hidden state conditions the SAM3 mask decoder, producing dense image and video referring segmentation alongside open-ended chat.
This checkpoint is self-contained: the SAM3 grounding code is vendored into the repository, so it loads with trust_remote_code=True without any extra packages.
Results
Image referring segmentation (cIoU):
Video referring segmentation (J&F):
Grounded conversation generation (GCG, val):
Usage
import torch
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoProcessor
from PIL import Image
path = "HarborYuan/Sa2VA-Qwen3-VL-4B-SAM3"
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(
path, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, trust_remote_code=True, low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
).eval().cuda()
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(path, trust_remote_code=True)
image = Image.open("your_image.jpg").convert("RGB")
out = model.predict_forward(
image=image,
text="Please segment the dog in the image.",
processor=processor,
)
print(out["prediction"]) # text response containing [SEG]
masks = out["prediction_masks"] # list of boolean masks at the original image sizeLoad in bfloat16 (the lm_head is kept in higher precision; torch_dtype="auto" mixes dtypes and fails).
For video, pass video=[frame0, frame1, ...] (a list of PIL images) instead of image.
Notes
- SAM3 grounding input resolution is 1008.
- Built on Sa2VA.
