    Automatically annotates images using a YOLO object detection model and a SAM segmentation model.

    Args:
        data (str): Path to a folder containing images to be annotated.
        det_model (str, optional): Pre-trained YOLO detection model. Defaults to 'yolov8x.pt'.
        sam_model (str, optional): Pre-trained SAM segmentation model. Defaults to 'sam_b.pt'.
        device (str, optional): Device to run the models on. Defaults to an empty string (CPU or GPU, if available).
        output_dir (str | None | optional): Directory to save the annotated results.
            Defaults to a 'labels' folder in the same directory as 'data'.

    Example:
        ```python
        from ultralytics.data.annotator import auto_annotate

        auto_annotate(data='ultralytics/assets', det_model='yolov8n.pt', sam_model='mobile_sam.pt')
