Luma AI

Luma AI is an artificial intelligence company founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company was co-founded by Amit Jain, Jiaming Song, Charlie Peng, and Stefano Filipello, and focuses on building AI systems capable of generating and understanding visual and physical-world content.

Luma AI's primary products include Dream Machine, a video generation model that produces high-quality video clips from text and image prompts, and an iPhone-based NeRF (Neural Radiance Field) capture tool that enables users to create photorealistic 3D scenes from smartphone footage. The company also offers an API for developers to integrate its video and 3D generation capabilities into third-party applications. Its tools have been used in film production, game development, e-commerce, and digital content creation workflows.

Luma AI raised a $43 million Series B round in 2023, bringing its total disclosed funding to approximately $72 million, with investors including Andreessen Horowitz and others. The company employs roughly 50 to 150 people. In 2024, Luma expanded its product focus toward generalist AI agents for creative tasks, reflecting a broader ambition beyond its initial 3D capture origins.
