Broader Effort
Meta Spirit LM is part of a broader set of research tools and models that Meta FAIR is releasing to the public. This includes an update to Meta's Segment Anything Model 2.1 (SAM 2.1) for image and video segmentation, which has been used across disciplines like medical imaging and meteorology, and research on enhancing the efficiency of large language models.
This broader effort is designed to advance the state of the art in AI research, while also providing a high level of flexibility and customization for researchers and developers. By releasing these models and tools under open-source licenses, Meta is encouraging the broader research community to explore new possibilities for multimodal AI applications.
