Grok 4.7 vs SAM 3: Overview
Grok 4.7 is a proprietary model from SpaceXAI, released on September 21, 2026. It accepts text and images as input and returns text. It extends Grok 4.6 and is listed at the same API price.
Its Vision Evals scores are on the leaderboard. Running it in the Playground is not available yet, because the inference workflow is not ready.
Released on November 19th, 2025, Segment Anything 3 (SAM 3) is a zero-shot image segmentation model that “detects, segments, and tracks objects in images and videos based on concept prompts.” This model was developed by Meta as the third model in the Segment Anything series.
Unlike its previous SAM models (Segment Anything and Segment Anything 2), you can provide SAM 3 with the prompt “shipping container” and it will generate precise segmentation masks for all shipping containers in an image. SAM 3 generates segmentation masks that correspond to the location of the objects found with a text prompt.
Frequently Asked Questions
SAM 3 has not yet been evaluated on Roboflow's current Vision Evals, so this comparison shows specs, licensing, and pricing rather than benchmark scores.
Grok 4.7 is released under Proprietary, while SAM 3 uses Custom. Licensing often matters more than raw accuracy for commercial deployments, so check the terms against how you plan to ship.
