Video Rebirth, an AI video startup backed by AMD, has announced the final closing of an $80 million funding round. This milestone includes a recent $30 million extension to the initial $50 million raised in November. The round saw significant strategic interest from a coalition of top-tier venture capital firms across Asia, alongside industry leaders such as AMD Ventures and Hyundai Motor Group. Unlike many platforms focused on short-form "demos," Video Rebirth is dedicated to developing an industrial-grade AI engine capable of generating consistent, commercial-ready digital realities. The fresh capital is earmarked for the commercialization of its flagship "Bach" series and the expansion of its footprint in the global market.
Funding Milestone: Total capital raised reached $80 million following a $30 million strategic extension.
Strategic Backing: Investors include AMD Ventures, Hyundai Motor Group (via ZER01NE), CJ Group (via HIVEN), and Feedback Ventures.
Core Product: Acceleration of the "Bach" series, a frontier video generation tool designed for industrial-scale applications.
Technical Innovations: Features "Physics Native Attention" (PNA) for consistency, Dual DiT for prompt adherence, and native 30fps generation.
Global Vision: Founded as a global entity to provide generative infrastructure for entertainment, mobility, and digital content.
Industry Shift: Focused on "De-engineering" the pan-entertainment sector by turning passive viewing into interactive, playable digital universes.
The leadership at Video Rebirth views generative video as more than just a creative tool; they see it as a foundational infrastructure for the future of digital media. By mastering causal logic and high-fidelity persistence, the company aims to replace traditional physical filming and rigid rendering processes. This shift allows creative visions to be instantly converted into interactive environments, effectively bridging the gap between linear film and playable entertainment.
"Video Rebirth was built as a global company from day one," said Dan Kong, Co-founder and COO of Video Rebirth. "Having the strategic backing of a global technology powerhouse like AMD validates our vision. Our investor base reflects this ambition, spanning global financial institutions and strategic partners who understand the scale of our vision."
The utility of Video Rebirth’s technology extends beyond the entertainment sector. Strategic partners like Hyundai see immense value in the platform’s ability to generate physically consistent environments, which are crucial for training physical AI in hyper-realistic digital worlds. This cross-industry appeal positions the company as a key partner for the future of mobility and simulation-driven industries, where high controllability and coherence are mandatory for safety and accuracy.
"We are at the precipice of a 'De-engineering' revolution in pan-entertainment," said Difu Li, Co-founder and CSO of Video Rebirth. "By mastering the causal logic and high-fidelity persistence of generative video today, we are democratizing the creation of interactive worlds. Our mission is to allow any creative vision to instantaneously collapse into a playable digital universe, turning the passive 'viewer' into an active personalized explorer of infinite possibilities."
With a technical foundation led by Dr. Wei Liu, an IEEE Fellow and former Tencent Distinguished Scientist, Video Rebirth is setting a new standard for AI video generators. The company's commitment to delivering visuals that are instantly commercial-ready has earned it the role of a long-term infrastructure partner for AMD. This collaboration ensures that Video Rebirth has the high-performance compute foundation necessary to scale its "industrial-grade realities" to a global audience of creators and enterprises.
"Video Rebirth's pioneering approach to building world models natively through video exemplifies the type of technical innovation that aligns with AMD's commitment to advancing the future of AI," said Sagi Paz, Head of AMD Ventures. "We are proud to collaborate with Video Rebirth and for AMD to serve as their long-term infrastructure partner, delivering the high-performance compute foundation needed to scale their industrial-grade realities to the world."
