Exyte wins Databricks' Generative AI World Cup

Exyte has recently emerged as the grand prize winner of the Generative AI World Cup, a global competition that brought together over 1,500 data scientists and Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineers from 18 countries. Exyte’s team from Singapore won the competition with ReguBIM AI, a generative AI-powered compliance assistant that revolutionizes regulatory verification and building design compliance, significantly reducing time, costs, and human error.

The Exyte team achieved an extraordinary feat by winning first place of all teams from the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, Africa) and securing the overall grand prize as the highest-scoring team among all regional winners. Databricks is a renowned leader in the AI industry, recognized for its innovative technologies and transformative solutions. The entries were judged based on technical excellence, creativity, and their potential impact on their respective industries.

Bringing Building Information Modelling (BIM) and design compliance together with AI

The competition showcased innovative generative AI solutions using Databricks Mosaic AI technologies. Exyte's award-winning ReguBIM AI project uses generative AI for regulatory verification and building design compliance, significantly reducing time, costs, and human error. This innovative solution emerged from close collaboration between Exyte’s BIM and engineering teams.

ReguBIM AI was selected as the grand prize solution for its innovative use of generative AI to bridge BIM data with building codes and regulatory documents, reshaping the compliance and design process. This approach demonstrated both technical excellence and the potential of generative AI to drive innovation in the engineering and construction industry.

Collaboration as the key to success

Oh Qi Qi, who led the Exyte team alongside Ho Van Chuong, expressed pride in winning the competition: “It is an honor to win Databricks' grand prize award and elevate Exyte's reputation as an innovation driver. This achievement was possible due to strong cross-team collaboration and support. I look forward to using insights gained to advance Exyte’s digitalization strategy, driving innovation and efficiency.”

Exyte team member Ho Van Chuong remarked. “AI in BIM is still in its early stages. Engineering and construction companies face challenges with fragmented data and incompatible formats, and our solution could be the key to big data processing in BIM, enabling AI integration and the use of large language models to unlock its full potential:”
