Gaode has released the 3D native city world model ABot-Earth0.5

On June 8th, Gaode, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, officially released the world’s first 3D-native city model named ABot-Earth0.5. This model has built the largest 3D map globally, covering 190 countries and regions. It is described that ABot-Earth0.5 is like an “automated factory”. Users can input a satellite image or a text description, and the system can generate a kilometer-level 3D city scene on a consumer-grade GPU in just 10 minutes. Moreover, the model outputs editable 3DGS format materials, which can be directly imported into mainstream engines such as Unity and Unreal Engine for interactive development. According to calculations, the 3D mapping cost of ABot-Earth0.5 is only one percent of the traditional method, while the efficiency has increased by approximately 1,000 times
