Adopt with guardrails
- Why
- SAM founded and still anchors the segmentation-foundation-model category — Apache 2.0 licensed, 54.7k GitHub stars, direct ancestor of the current reference backbones SAM 2 and SAM 3 — but its zero-shot accuracy is domain-dependent and it lacks the video/text capabilities now standard in its successors.
- Next
- Prefer SAM 2 / SAM 3 for new builds needing video or text-prompt support; if using original SAM specifically, benchmark zero-shot IoU on the target domain (especially medical, satellite, or low-contrast imagery) before production use, since IoU has been observed as low as 0.11 without fine-tuning
