Luma Labs launches new AI video model with improved motion and physics

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More. Luma AI made waves with the launch of its Dream Machine generative AI video creation platform last summer.Of course, while that was only seven short months ago, the AI video space has advanced rapidly with the release of many new AI video creation models from rival startups in the U.S. and China, including Runway, Kling, Pika 2.0, OpenAI’s Sora, Google’s Veo 2, MiniMax’s Hailuo and open source alternatives such as Hotshot and Genmo’s Mochi 1, to name but a few. Even Luma itself recently updated its Dream Machine platform to include new still image generation and brainstorming boards, and also debuted an iOS app.But the updates continue: Today, the San Francisco-based startup released Ray2, its newest video AI generation model, available now through its Dream Machine website and mobile apps for paying subscribers (to start).The model offers “fast, natural coherent motion and physics,” according co-founder and CEO Amit Jain says on his X account, and was trained with 10 times more compute than the original Luma AI video model, Ray1.“This skyrockets the success rate of usable production-ready generations and makes video storytelling accessible to a lot more people,” he added.Luma’s Dream Machine web platform offers a free tier with 720 pixel generations capped at a variable number each month: Paid plans begin at $6.99 per month: From “Lite,” which offers 1080p visuals, to Plus ($20.99/month), to Unlimited ($66.49/month) and Enterprise ($1,672.92/year).A leap forward in video genRight now, Ray2 is limited to tex-to-video, allowing users to type in descriptions that are transformed into 5 or 10 second video clips. The model can generate new videos in a matter of seconds, although right now it can take minutes at a time due to a crush of demand from new users.Examples shared by Luma and early testers in its Creators program showcase the model’s versatility, including a man running through an Antarctic snowstorm surrounded by explosions, and a ballerina performing on an ice floe in the Arctic.Impressively, all the motions in the example videos appear lifelike and fluid — and often, with subjects moving much faster and more naturally than videos from rival AI generators, which often appear to generate in slow motion.The model can even create realistic versions of surreal ideas such as a giraffe surfing, as X user @JeffSynthesized demonstrated

Google is going head to head against OpenAI’s Sora with the newest version of its video generation model, Veo 2, which it says makes more realistic-looking videos.The company also updated its image generation model Imagen 3 to produce richer, more detailed photos. Google said Veo 2 has “a better understanding of real-world physics and the nuances of human movement and expression.” It is available on Google Labs’ VideoFX platform — but only on a waitlisted basis. Users will need to sign up through a Google Form and wait for access to be granted provisionally by Google at a time of its choosing.“Veo 2 also understands the language of cinematography: Ask it for a genre, specify a lens, suggest cinematic effects and Veo 2 will deliver — at resolutions up to 4K,” Google said in a blog post. Video generated with Veo 2While Veo 2 is available only to select users, the original Veo remains available on Vertex AI. Videos created with Veo 2 will contain Google’s metadata watermark SynthID to identify these as AI-generated. Google admits, though, that Veo 2 may still hallucinate extra fingers and the like, but it promises the new model produces fewer hallucinations.  Veo 2 will compete against OpenAI’s recently released Sora video generation model to attract filmmakers and content creators. Sora had been in previews for a while before OpenAI made it available to paying subscribers. Impressively, Google says that on its own internal tests gauging “overall preference” (i.e

OpenAI has officially released Sora Turbo, its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered text-to-video generation software, marking a new milestone in the landscape of AI content creation. The launch comes nearly ten months after the technology was first unveiled to the public in February 2024. The latest version of Sora, announced Monday (Dec. 9) is now accessible through sora.com to subscribers of ChatGPT Plus and Pro plans, with availability extending to most countries outside the European Union and the United Kingdom. The announcement is part of the company’s “12 Days of OpenAI” holiday series

The usage of AI continues to expand, and with more enterprises integrating AI tools into their workflows, many want to look for more options to cut the costs associated with running AI models. To answer customer demand, AWS announced two new capabilities on Bedrock to cut the cost of running AI models and applications, that are already available on competitor platforms. During a keynote speech at AWS re:Invent, Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president for  AI and Data at AWS, announced Intelligent Prompt Routing on Bedrock and the arrival of Prompt Caching. Intelligent Prompt Routing would help customers direct prompts to the best size so a big model doesn’t answer a simple query. “Developers need the right models for their applications, which is why we offer a wide set of models,” Sivasubramanian said. AWS said Intelligent Prompt Routing “can reduce costs by up to 30% without compromising on accuracy.” Users will have to choose a model family, and Bedrock’s Intelligent Prompt Routing will push prompts to the right-sized models within that family. Moving prompts through different models to optimize usage and cost has slowly gained prominence in the AI industry. Startup Not Diamond announced its smart routing feature in July. Voice agent company Argo Labs, an AWS customer, said it uses Intelligent Prompt Routing to ensure the correct-sized models handle the different customer inquiries. Simple yes-or-no questions like “Do you have a reservation?” are managed by a smaller model, but more complicated ones like “What vegan options are available?” would be routed to a bigger one. Caching promptsAWS also announced Bedrock will now support prompt caching, where Bedrock can keep common or repeat prompts without pinging the model and generating another token. “Token generation costs can frequently rise particularly for repeat prompts,” Sivasubramanian said. “We wanted to give customers an easy way to dynamically cache prompts without sacrificing accuracy.”AWS said prompt caching reduces costs “by up to 90% and latency by up to 85% for supported models.”However, AWS is a little late to this trend
