Sky Intelligence, a company specializing in AI solutions based on synthetic data, announced on January 9 that it has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Alibaba Cloud, one of the most influential global IT companies in Asia, to begin full-scale global collaboration for generative AI-based 3D content production.

The agreement was signed on January 6 at Alibaba Cloud's headquarters in Hangzhou, China. Both companies agreed to jointly build a next-generation automated 3D content production system that combines AI and cloud technologies. Their plan is to spread AI content production models that can be applied to real business environments across the digital content industry.

Through this agreement, the two companies will create a large-scale content production environment by combining Sky Intelligence's generative AI 3D content technology with Alibaba Cloud's global cloud infrastructure and high-performance GPU computing environment. The goal is to simultaneously enhance both the speed and quality of content creation, particularly in areas such as e-commerce and brand marketing where mass production is required.

Sky Intelligence's generative AI 3D content solution, B.THREE, is a software-as-a-service designed on the standard architecture of NVIDIA Omniverse. It integrates the entire 3D content production process-from product scanning and modeling to lighting, animation, and real-time rendering-into a single pipeline, replacing the traditional, repetitive, and costly production methods.

With this agreement, B.THREE will be integrated with Alibaba Cloud's generative AI platform Tongyi and the Wuying cloud rendering technology. Tongyi assists in automating the 3D content creation process by analyzing text- and image-based input information, while Wuying cloud rendering efficiently handles computationally intensive rendering tasks in a cloud environment. As a result, users will be able to create high-quality 3D content with simpler input, significantly lowering the barriers to entry while further enhancing the quality of the final product.

In addition, by leveraging high-performance GPU computing resources and parallel processing technologies, it is expected that the efficiency of 3D content production can be improved by more than 90 percent while maintaining production quality. This is projected to result in approximately 50 percent reduction in production costs and about 40 percent savings in marketing expenses compared to existing methods.

Building on this agreement, the two companies plan to further advance AI-based 3D content production environments for e-commerce and brand companies, while jointly expanding dedicated workflows and solutions tailored to the characteristics of each industry. Furthermore, they aim to gradually broaden the scope of AI content technology applications, including collaboration with the education and research sectors, and cooperate to foster a global AI content ecosystem.

Jaecheol Lee, CEO of Sky Intelligence, said, "This agreement is a practical starting point for expanding AI-based 3D content production across industries, going beyond simple technical cooperation. By combining a standard architecture based on NVIDIA Omniverse with global cloud infrastructure, we will present a new content production method that can be adopted in global markets."

An Alibaba Cloud representative stated, "The convergence of AI and cloud is fundamentally transforming the production structure of the content industry. Through this agreement, we will actively support a stable and scalable cloud environment so that Sky Intelligence's AI 3D content technology can spread more rapidly in the global market."

Meanwhile, starting with the collaboration with Alibaba Cloud, Sky Intelligence plans to gradually expand its flexible multi-cloud strategy that does not depend on any single cloud environment. In particular, the company has secured a structure that enables expansion to major global cloud environments such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, and will continue to strengthen its global responsiveness by selecting the optimal infrastructure according to region, industry, and customer needs.
