I can’t find Grounding-DINO model for auto-labelling images.

I used G-DINO model for auto-labelling when I trained 2nd model, but for the next models, I was able to check SAM 3 model as default auto-labelling model.

Hi Sagar, is this the same project where G-DINO appeared or a new one?

Hi Sagar, we stopped supporting Grounding-DINO on Auto Label; SAM3 is a newer and more capable model.

Do you have any cases where SAM3 doesn’t work now but Grounding-DINO used to?

Yes, I have.

I think SAM3 doesn’t support one or more from the items below.

double\_hook\_safety\_harness  
fall\_prevention\_net  
top\_rail  
bottom\_rail

Can you share some images you are using? Maybe some images aren’t good becuase they are to thin (e.g the rails). I believe SAM3 is not the best at this
