Choose this fork if you want SAM in a OneFlow-centric environment and value the added notebooks/documentation. Choose upstream if you want the freshest SAM code path, broader community support, or the newer SAM 2 direction.

Choose this fork if you need a comic-specific SAM training pipeline and can accept reduced generality and weaker upstream alignment. Stick with upstream if you want the broader, better-maintained generic SAM workflow.

Prefer this fork if your real need is SAM inside Nuke. Prefer upstream if you want the broadest, best-documented SAM codebase, notebooks, and newer guidance around SAM 2.

Prefer this fork if your goal is to fine-tune or evaluate SAM on custom data. Prefer upstream if you want the latest maintained inference repo, current fixes, and SAM 2 guidance.

Choose this fork if your main goal is full ONNX export and you want an example-driven path to deployment. Stay with upstream if you want current maintenance, newer SAM 2 guidance, or the latest bugfixes and docs.

Prefer this fork if you want the added interactive selection workflow and convenience features. Prefer upstream if you want the current, better-maintained SAM baseline and newer SAM 2 direction.

Choose this fork if your goal is to export SAM to ONNX and use it in annotation or deployment pipelines. Stay with upstream if you want the broadest, latest SAM documentation, demo workflows, and proximity to the newer SAM 2 direction.

Choose this fork if your main job is a Vesuvius-style segmentation and image-processing pipeline and you want the bundled helper scripts. Choose upstream if you want the current, better-maintained SAM reference and the newer SAM 2 direction.

Prefer upstream unless you specifically need an old, frozen copy of SAM. This fork offers no visible additions and is behind on newer guidance and fixes, so it is mainly useful as a static reference.
