# SeC-4B Model Files - Multiple Precision Formats

Single-file model formats for the **SeC (Segment Concept)** video object segmentation model, optimized for use with [ComfyUI SeC Nodes](https://github.com/9nate-drake/Comfyui-SecNodes).

## Model Formats

| Format | Size | Description | GPU Requirements |
|--------|------|-------------|------------------|
| **SeC-4B-fp16.safetensors** | 7.35 GB | Recommended - Best balance of quality and size | All CUDA GPUs |
| **SeC-4B-fp8.safetensors** | 3.97 GB | VRAM-constrained systems (saves 1.5-2GB VRAM) | RTX 30 series or newer |
| **SeC-4B-bf16.safetensors** | 7.35 GB | Alternative to FP16 | All CUDA GPUs |
| **SeC-4B-fp32.safetensors** | 14.14 GB | Full precision | All CUDA GPUs |

## What is SeC?

**SeC (Segment Concept)** uses Large Vision-Language Models for video object segmentation, achieving **+11.8 points** improvement over SAM 2.1 on complex semantic scenarios (SeCVOS benchmark).

Key features:
- Concept-driven tracking with semantic understanding
- Handles occlusions and appearance changes
- Bidirectional tracking support
- State-of-the-art performance on multiple benchmarks

## Usage

These models are designed for use with the [ComfyUI SeC Nodes](https://github.com/9nate-drake/Comfyui-SecNodes) custom nodes.

**Installation:**
1. Download your preferred model format
2. Place in `ComfyUI/models/sams/`
3. Install [ComfyUI SeC Nodes](https://github.com/9nate-drake/Comfyui-SecNodes)
4. The model will be automatically detected and available in the SeC Model Loader
