Luma AI has introduced Ray3, a video generation model that it claims is the first capable of producing studio-quality HDR (High Dynamic Range) videos.

Ray3 supports 10-, 12-, and even 16-bit color depth and can export results as EXR files, making it easier to integrate with professional editing and color-grading workflows. The model can also convert standard SDR videos into HDR.

"Reasoning" capability and visual control

One of Ray3’s most notable features is what Luma AI calls its "reasoning" ability - the capacity to think in both images and language, follow complex instructions, and assess its own outputs. According to the company, Ray3 can critique early drafts and iterate until it meets a given quality bar.
