What is Luma AI?
Luma AI is a pioneering platform dedicated to building multimodal general intelligence capable of generating, understanding, and operating within the physical world. It provides powerful, collaborative products for creatives in media, entertainment, marketing, and advertising industries, focusing on video creation and worldbuilding. By training world models on rich multimodal data (video, audio, language), Luma AI aims to unlock a new era of creative expression, allowing users to ideate, visualize, and create high-quality videos with intelligent AI models like Dream Machine and Ray2. The platform offers foundational research and systems engineering to enable models to see, hear, and reason about the world, facilitating effective human-AI collaboration.
How to use Luma AI
Users can access Luma AI's capabilities through its web platform or the iOS app for Dream Machine. Interaction primarily involves providing text prompts, images, or existing video content as input to generate or modify video. The platform offers various tools like Ray2 for realistic video generation, Dream Machine for ideation and creation, and specific features like "Modify Video" for post-production control over style and setting. While specific registration steps are not detailed, users are prompted to "Try Now" or "Start Building" (for the API), implying an account creation process. Luma AI offers a tiered pricing model, with "Ray2 Flash" providing more accessible and faster generation options for free users.
