Training the AIs' Eyes: How Roboflow is Making the Real World Programmable, with CEO Joseph Nelson
Computer vision is approaching its “ChatGPT moment” but remains roughly three years behind language, with frontier models still unreliable on grounding, spatial relationships, measurement, speed, and reproducibility.RF100-VL’s best tested model, Gemini 2, achieved only 12.5% across real user domains, underscoring the gap between broad multimodal capability and industrial precision.Roboflow’s RF-DETR distills frontier capability into owned, task-specific models, while shared-weight neural architecture search creates a speed-accuracy frontier suited to edge economics; open-source dependence on Meta remains a strategic risk.
SAM 3: The Eyes for AI — Nikhila & Pengchuan (Meta Superintelligence), ft. Joseph Nelson (Roboflow)

SAM 3 turns natural-language concepts into an interface for detecting, masking, and tracking images and video.SA-Co expands evaluation from LVIS’s roughly 1.2K concepts to more than 200,000, while automated verification cuts annotation to about 25 seconds per data point.Roboflow reports 8 million SAM 3 inferences in five days, but video efficiency and customer-specific intent remain open constraints.
