On January 5, 2026, news emerged that AutoNavi, an Alibaba subsidiary, has officially rolled out a world model and is gearing up to launch a new product application built on this model. This model has excelled, securing top scores across multiple metrics in the WorldScore spatial intelligence evaluation benchmark, which was put forward by Professor Li Feifei's team at Stanford University. WorldScore stands as the first open - source benchmark test that enables a unified evaluation of multi - modal world generation models. Furthermore, AutoNavi has set up an Embodied Business Department internally. On recruitment platforms, it has posted numerous job openings, such as Embodied Intelligence Product Experts and Data/Algorithm Engineers. The aim is to delve into the development paths for products like robots and robotic dogs. Previously, in August 2025, AutoNavi declared a full - scale pivot towards spatial intelligence. In September of the same year, it launched the local life product 'AutoNavi Street Sweeping Rankings'. Recently, the first ecological scenario integrated by Alibaba Group's latest AI flagship application, 'Qianwen', is none other than AutoNavi and its associated products.
