Request for manual review / reset of rejected SAM 3 access – yuembodiedAI
Hi Meta SAM 3 team,
My access request to the SAM 3 Gating Group Collection was submitted on 2026-11-12 and rejected on the same day. The form no longer allows me to resubmit, so I would like to request a manual review, or a reset of the rejected status so that I can submit the request again with complete information.

Intended use:
I am a faculty member in the College of Information Engineering at ZJUT. My group works on embodied AI and robotic manipulation, and we are building a simulation-based research pipeline for robot task manipulation. We would like to use SAM 3 for non-commercial academic research only, specifically to evaluate its text-, point- and box-prompted segmentation on task-block scenes in our simulation environment, in order to study how reliably promptable segmentation can support perception in manipulation tasks. All inference will be run locally on our own hardware.
We will not redistribute the model weights, will not publish them or any derivative checkpoints, will not serve the model publicly through any API or hosted service, and will not use it for commercial purposes. Any publications resulting from this work will follow the terms of the SAM 3 license regarding attribution.
I agree to comply with the SAM 3 license, Meta's policies, and the Hugging Face Terms of Service.
If any part of the information I originally submitted was incomplete or unclear, I am happy to provide whatever additional details are needed — for example further description of the research project, the institutional context, or confirmation from my department. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards, Xinyi Yu College of Information Engineering Zhejiang University of Technology
