en.Wedoany.com Reported - AutoNavi, a subsidiary of Alibaba, officially launched the world's first 3D native urban world model, ABot-Earth0.5. Within a week of its release, the related technical paper topped the Hugging Face paper rankings for the month, week, and day. Chen Baoquan, a Boya Distinguished Professor at Peking University (ACM Fellow & IEEE Fellow), recommended the model, stating that it achieves native understanding and efficient generation of three-dimensional space, establishing a new underlying paradigm in the fields of spatial intelligence and digital twins, breaking away from the traditional "2D-to-3D inference" approach.
Hugging Face is an AI community that aggregates hundreds of thousands of models and research results from OpenAI, DeepMind, and top university labs. Its paper rankings are determined by real-time votes from global developers and researchers based on academic value, technological innovation, and community discussion activity. ABot-Earth topped the daily ranking within 48 hours of its launch and secured the top spots on the weekly and monthly rankings after a week, indicating that the model's innovative capabilities have been recognized by developers and researchers worldwide. In addition to Chen Baoquan, Hugging Face core member Ahsen Khaliq (@_akhaliq) also shared and recommended the model.
ABot-Earth0.5 is a 3D native urban world model that is fully trained on 3D data and is engineering-ready. Instead of using the traditional "distilling 3D structures from 2D images" acquisition-reconstruction method, this model is directly trained on 3D data, enabling end-to-end generation of urban scenes in 3DGS format in a single pass. After a user inputs a satellite image or a text description, the model can generate a kilometer-scale 3D urban scene on a consumer-grade GPU within 10 minutes. Based on this approach, ABot-Earth0.5 has built the world's most extensive 3D map, covering over 190 countries and regions.
The editable 3DGS format output from the model can be directly imported into mainstream engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine for interactive development. ABot-Earth0.5 is currently open for beta testing, and users can view global 3D cities on the official website abot-earth.amap.com.
