What is Luma Labs?

Luma Labs is an AI creativity platform specialising in video and image generation through its Ray 3.2 and Uni-1 models. Built for creative agencies, producers and content teams that need cinematic-quality visual assets. It stands out for granular frame-by-frame control, support for multiple models (Kling, Veo, Seedance) under a single subscription, and watermark-free generation on paid plans.
