Problem
When importing sam3 (import sam3), the decord library is eagerly loaded even though it's only needed for video file processing.
This line indicated to me the import was intended to be deferred.
Steps to Reproduce
import sys
import sam3
print('decord loaded:', any('decord' in m for m in sys.modules))
# Output: decord loaded: True
Root Cause
The import chain is:
import sam3
└─ sam3/model_builder.py
└─ sam3/model/sam3_image.py:17
└─ from sam3.train.data.collator import BatchedDatapoint
└─ sam3/train/data/sam3_image_dataset.py:18
└─ from decord import cpu, VideoReader # Eager import
