How to run

Safetensors weights are on the Hugging Face repository. The parameter count on this page came from that index.

The Hugging Face model API lists the library as transformers.

Load it from huggingface.co/facebook/sam2.1-hiera-large. This page does not add install steps that the Hub files do not state.

Agent capabilities

This model publishes no chat template, so there is nothing to inspect. That is not evidence of missing support — many base models and some releases simply ship without one.
