Our take

In a world where creators, filmmakers, advertisers, and brands are looking for faster, more flexible ways t produce high0quality visuals, Luma is building tools that turn idweas into prpduction-ready footage in second. Its flagship platform, Dream Machines, already empowers millions of users to generate professional-grade video and images from simple text, image, or video prompts and its helping teams stretch their creative budgets, explore more concepts and rethink how storytelling gets made.

In 2025, Luma topok a major leap forward with the launch of Ray3, its most advanced miveo model yet. Ray3 introduces true cinematic capabilities, like native HDR support, natural motion, character consistency, and a built-in reasoning system tha tlets the model "think through" a scene before generating it. Instead of behaving like a random slot machine, Ray3 can plan shots, understand director, and refine its output the way a real filmmaker would. So creators can storyboard visually with annotations, combine multiple scenes more smoothly, and generate 10-second, high-fidelity clips with far more control that previous models allowed.

This momentum is amplified by a wave of strong partnerships and industry adoption. Adobe selected Ray3 as its first third-party video generation model inside Firefly, giving millions of creative professionals access to Luma's technology directly in their everyday tools like Premiere Pro. The company is also working with major players like the Clio Awards, Dentsu Digital, Monks, StrawberryFrog, and Humain, all using Luma's models to push the boundaries of advertising, entertainment, and personalized content.
