we've started to evaluate Astra for segmentation tasks and it's really good but as we all know it's really expensive, ~$0.50 for a 1920 × 1280 image for example we think the best way to do zero-shot segmentation is to you use Astra on low/medium for object detection and then pass that to SAM3 you can get pixel perfect masks for 80% cheaper than having Astra draw polygons Astra proposes boxes, SAM3 draws the masks, and you get Astra's understanding with SAM3's edges at lower cost per image, because boxes are less complex than polygon lines, less Astra's output tokens
