From Reconstructing Scenes to Generating Them
Luma’s early work centered on capturing the physical world in 3D. Its January 2024 Series B announcement introduced Genie as a way to generate 3D objects from prompts, marking a shift from recording existing scenes toward creating new ones. The company disclosed $70 million raised to that point.
Scaling World Models with HUMAIN
Luma announced a $900 million Series C led by HUMAIN in November 2025, with AMD Ventures and existing investors participating. The companies also announced a roadmap around Project Halo, a planned 2-gigawatt Saudi compute cluster. Luma would be a customer of that infrastructure, rather than owning a completed cluster at announcement.
Creative Agents Connect Multiple Production Steps
Luma’s 2026 creative workspace uses agents to coordinate image, video and audio work while retaining project context. Its current product information identifies Ray3.2 as its video model and UNI-1.1 as its image and multimodal offering, alongside the Luma app and developer API.
