The acquisition values Brahma at USD 1.43 billion, with Abu Dhabi-based investor United Al Saqer Group (UASG) and the DNEG Group investing an additional USD 25 million. This investment follows UASG’s USD 200 million investment in the DNEG Group in 2024. Meanwhile, Metaphysic’s existing investors—including Liberty Global, S32, Rakuten Capital, TO Ventures, and 8VC—will become shareholders in Brahma, the company announced on Tuesday, February 18.

Brahma will develop foundational AI, data, and content workflow and management technologies as part of a comprehensive suite of AI-native products designed to create user-customised content across video, image, and audio.

Integration of AI Technologies

Following the transaction, Brahma will integrate Metaphysic’s AI technology with DNEG Group’s creative technology, including Ziva’s technology for the creation of digital human and character simulations and the Clear AI platform. The expanded team will consist of over 800 engineers and creative technologists, developing a suite of AI-native products.

DNEG Group stated that this announcement follows Ziva’s recognition with a 2025 SciTech Award by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, as well as Metaphysic’s AI neural performance toolset receiving the Emerging Technology Award at the Visual Effects Society Awards.
