Amap, part of the Alibaba Group, officially launched the world's first 3D native city world model ABot-Earth0.5 on June 8th, marking a major breakthrough in spatial intelligence technology in the field of city-level 3D reconstruction.
The model has now built the largest coverage 3D map globally, with services available in over 190 countries and regions. As a highly automated "digital factory," ABot-Earth0.5 greatly improves the efficiency of 3D space data production. Users only need to input a satellite image or a textual description, and the system can generate a kilometer-scale 3D city scene within 10 minutes using a single consumer-grade GPU.
More importantly, the output materials of this model are in the editable 3DGS (3D Gaussian Splatting) format, which can be seamlessly imported into mainstream game and real-time rendering engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine for interactive development.
From an industrial application perspective, ABot-Earth0.5 not only disrupts the traditional modeling cost structure but also significantly empowers cutting-edge scenarios such as embodied intelligence, low-altitude economy, film and games, and emergency rescue. It provides high-precision 3D geographic infrastructure for autonomous driving, low-altitude route planning, and digital twin cities.
Currently, the model is officially open for internal testing. Amap stated that in the next step, it will continue to iterate and improve the generation accuracy of the model, accelerate the process of ABot-Earth0.5 becoming a universal infrastructure that can be accessed at any time across industries, and further speed up the industrialization of spatial generative AI.
