Luma AI releases Ray3 – 16bit HDR, reasoning video model

This is Ray3. The world’s first reasoning video model, and the first to generate studio-grade HDR. Now with an all-new Draft Mode for rapid iteration in creative workflows, and state of the art physics and consistency. Available now for free in Dream Machine.

Ray3’s native HDR delivers studio-grade fidelity. It generates video in 10, 12 & 16-bit high dynamic range with details in shadows and highlights in vivid color. Convert SDR to HDR, export EXR for seamless integration and unprecedented control in post-production workflows.

Reasoning enables Ray3 to understand nuanced directions, think in visuals and language tokens, and judge its generations to give you reliably better results. With Ray3 you can create more complex scenes, intricate multi-step motion, and do it all faster.

With reasoning, Ray3 can interpret visual annotations enabling creatives to now draw or scribble on images to direct performance, blocking, and camera movement. Refine motion, objects, and composition for precise visual control, all without prompting.

Draft Mode is a new way to iterate video ideas, fast. Explore ideas in a state of flow and get to your perfect shot. With Ray3’s new Hi-Fi diffusion pass, master your best shots into production-ready high-fidelity 4K HDR footage. 5x faster. 5x cheaper. 100x more fun.
