Amap Unveils ABot-Earth 0.7, Enabling 3D City Generation in 10 Minutes on a Single GPU
Amap released ABot-Earth 0.7 on Sept. 10 alongside updates to its spatial intelligence features. The model is a 3D urban world model covering 196 countries and regions, and can generate 3D city scenes in 10 minutes on a single consumer GPU, the company said. Timed to the first anniversary of Amap Street Stars, the announcement put greater emphasis on connecting map and mobility data with 3D exploration and guidance.
Key facts

- Amap said its spatial intelligence features are available on smartphones, in-car systems, embodied robots, smartwatches and smart glasses.
What happened
Amap announced ABot-Earth 0.7 on Sept. 10, 2026. The company describes it as the “world’s first native 3D urban world model,” powering Flying Street View 2.0. It covers 196 countries and regions and can generate a 1-kilometer-scale 3D city scene from satellite imagery or text prompts in 10 minutes on a single consumer GPU, the company said.
Amap also marked the first anniversary of the launch of Amap Street Stars that day. Over the past year, the service had more than 880 million users, who traveled a combined 36.6 billion kilometers, the company said.
Why it matters
Amap said ABot-Earth 0.7 can be used on smartphones, in-car systems, embodied robots and smart glasses. Connecting map data with 3D generation and on-site guidance could bring together trip planning and real-world recognition assistance, affecting the implementation requirements for devices that use spatial information.
Details
According to a PR Newswire announcement, ABot-Earth 0.7 is based on a native 3D architecture and Amap’s map and location data, and builds continuous, interactive 3D digital worlds. Amap said it is up to 1,000 times more efficient than conventional methods.
Features include Flying Street View 2.0, which lets users preview destinations as immersive 3D environments, and Navigation Live, which uses a smartphone camera, natural conversation and multimodal spatial recognition to provide information about nearby buildings, tourist attractions, commercial facilities and environmental conditions. Amap also said its spatial intelligence features are now available on smartphones, in-car systems, embodied robots, smartwatches and smart glasses.
Implications for Japan
For Japan, the announcement is relevant because it identifies in-car systems and smart glasses as potential applications for spatial intelligence. For Japanese companies in mapping, in-car user interfaces, location data processing and outdoor devices, 3D city-generation accuracy and the processing load on devices are likely to be adoption requirements.
