One thing its enabled is automated annotations for segmentation, even on out-of-distribution examples. e.g. in the first 7 months of SAM, users on Roboflow used SAM-powered labeling to label over 13 million images, saving over ~21 years[0] of labeling time. That doesn't include labeling from self hosting autodistill[1] for automated annotation either.
