Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's SYNAPS-I project, part of the White House Genesis Mission initiative, has deployed Meta's Segment Anything Model 3 (SAM 3) and DINOv3 on 300 A100 GPUs at national supercomputing facilities to automate segmentation of X-ray and neutron science imagery. The pipeline reduces expert annotation time from weeks or months to approximately 15 minutes per dataset, enabling real-time analysis during live experiments. A demonstration on grapevine drought resilience using micro-CT scans showed that month-long per-timestep annotation workflows now complete in 15 minutes. Meta's open-source release of both models was critical, as national labs require on-premises deployment on secure government infrastructure.
