Understand, predict, simulate, create, plan, and act in the real world.
DreamX is the unified spatial intelligence model and system portfolio of AMAP-ML, the AI team at Alibaba AMAP. We connect research, engineering, and real-world deployment across maps, mobility, local services, digital content, and interactive worlds.

We advance DreamX through production systems, open-source projects, benchmarks, and publications at ICLR, CVPR, ECCV, ACL, AAAI, SIGGRAPH, ICCV, ICML, KDD, EMNLP, ACM MM, and WWW. We release code and evaluation assets to help the community reproduce, compare, and extend our work.

Join us | Research interns, full-time researchers, and AI engineers in spatial intelligence, LLM agents, reinforcement learning, world models, multimodal learning, embodied AI, recommendation, and generative AI are welcome to get in touch.

Focus: Spatial Intelligence · DreamX · LLM Agents · World Models · Multimodal and Generative AI

We define spatial intelligence as the ability of AI to understand the real world and its evolution over space and time; predict future states; generate and simulate digital representations; plan toward human goals; and act through products and embodied systems.

For AMAP, this means connecting maps, mobility, urban environments, local services, digital content, and physical action in one learning and deployment loop. Generative intelligence is an essential part of this mission: it enables AI to represent, create, enrich, and simulate the world rather than standing as a separate product anchor.

Our work is organized around three core problems:

DreamX turns this mission into six model and system families. Each family focuses on a distinct relationship between intelligence and the real world:

This table defines the portfolio at the family level. Public same-name releases and related research artifacts are linked below where available.

The six DreamX families build on a common foundation:

These selected public projects show how the spatial intelligence mission translates into research artifacts, open-source systems, benchmarks, and models. The complete project map below organizes all public artifacts by the three core problems and the shared foundation.

The project map complements the family-level view with the research and open-source foundations behind DreamX. Each artifact is organized by the primary role it plays in the spatial intelligence stack.

We are looking for people who want to build the next generation of spatial intelligence systems through clean code, reproducible experiments, rigorous evaluation, ambitious problem selection, and real-world product impact.
