We (Roboflow) have had early access to this model for the past few weeks. It's really, really good. This feels like a seminal moment for computer vision. I think there's a real possibility this launch goes down in history as "the GPT Moment" for vision.
The two areas I think this model is going to be transformative in the immediate term are for rapid prototyping and distillation.
Two years ago we released autodistill[1], an open source framework that uses large foundation models to create training data for training small realtime models. I'm convinced the idea was right, but too early; there wasn't a big model good enough to be worth distilling from back then. SAM3 is finally that model (and will be available in Autodistill today).
We are also taking a big bet on SAM3 and have built it into Roboflow as an integral part of the entire build and deploy pipeline[2], including a brand new product called Rapid[3], which reimagines the computer vision pipeline in a SAM3 world. It feels really magical to go from an unlabeled video to a fine-tuned realtime segmentation model with minimal human intervention in just a few minutes (and we rushed the release of our new SOTA realtime segmentation model[4] last week because it's the perfect lightweight complement to the large & powerful SAM3).
We also have a playground[5] up where you can play with the model and compare it to other VLMs.

nice! This model seems crazy good!
It's built on our new Orion [2] model; we've been able to integrate with SAM and several other computer-vision models in a truly composable manner. Video segmentation and tracking is also coming soon!
