Video Rebirth, an AI video startup backed by AMD, has raised a total of $80 million in funding. This includes an extra $30 million added to the $50 million it raised earlier in November. The new funding came from strong interest by top investors in Asia, along with support from AMD Ventures, Hyundai, and other major companies from the entertainment, mobility, and technology sectors.
The new funding will mainly be used to speed up the launch of Video Rebirth’s advanced video generation product, called the Bach series, and to expand into global markets. While many tools in the market only create short demo content, Video Rebirth is focused on building a strong, industrial-level AI system that can produce consistent and ready-to-use content for real-world commercial use.
“Video Rebirth was built as a global company from day one,” said Dan Kong, Co-founder and COO of Video Rebirth, who previously served as an AI investor at Abu Dhabi’s G42. ” 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.” They recognize that we aren’t just building a tool for a single market; we are building a generative infrastructure for global digital content.”
“We are at the precipice of a ‘De-engineering’ revolution in pan-entertainment” said Difu Li, Co-founder and CSO, formerly leading the AI strategy at Tencent. “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.”
“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.”
“The Video Rebirth team combines world-leading technical talent, with a compelling vision and tight execution. ” said Peter Lim, Partner at Feedback Ventures, and formerly at Temasek. “A strong foundation in Video AI positions Video Rebirth for opportunities in simulations-driven industries.”
“We invested in Video Rebirth because their technology transcends creative media,” said Keith Noh, head of ZER01NE in Hyundai Motor Group.. “Their ability to generate physically consistent environments makes them a key partner for the future of mobility. We see immense potential in using their AI Engine to train physical AI within hyper-realistic digital worlds.”
Video Rebirth was founded by Dr. Wei Liu, a former Tencent Distinguished Scientist and IEEE Fellow. The company aims to set a high, industrial-level standard for AI video generation. It is developing an advanced AI engine that turns ideas into real content.
Its technology focuses on better control and quality, helping videos stay consistent and realistic. With features like smooth 30fps video generation, Video Rebirth allows creators to easily produce clear, high-quality visuals that are ready for commercial use.
