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

    This function processes images in a specified directory, detects objects using a YOLO model, and then generates
    segmentation masks using a SAM model. The resulting annotations are saved as text files.

    Args:
        data (str | Path): Path to a folder containing images to be annotated.
        det_model (str): Path or name of the pre-trained YOLO detection model.
        sam_model (str): Path or name of the pre-trained SAM segmentation model.
        device (str): Device to run the models on (e.g., 'cpu', 'cuda', '0').
        conf (float): Confidence threshold for detection model.
        iou (float): IoU threshold for filtering overlapping boxes in detection results.
        imgsz (int): Input image resize dimension.
        max_det (int): Maximum number of detections per image.
        classes (List[int] | None): Filter predictions to specified class IDs, returning only relevant detections.
        output_dir (str | Path | None): Directory to save the annotated results. If None, a default directory is created.

    Examples:
        >>> from ultralytics.data.annotator import auto_annotate
        >>> auto_annotate(data="ultralytics/assets", det_model="yolo11n.pt", sam_model="mobile_sam.pt")
