Why the conviction moved

• Oct 11
  Context

  Scale's failure analysis points to the visual encoder, not reasoning, as the bottleneck in intuitive visual reasoning. That limits how far current vision backbones generalize, but it also makes better perception models the place where gains will come from.

• Oct 11
  Strengthened +2

  National labs have adopted Meta's promptable SAM 3 and DINOv3 as the core of a production imaging pipeline. This moves open perception models from research demos into operational scientific infrastructure.

• Oct 10
  Strengthened +2

  SAM 3, a promptable segmentation model, is being fine-tuned for production scientific imaging across four DOE labs, an example of open perception models moving into operational use.
