Luma AI app for generating videos and images from prompts
Dream Machine is Luma AI's creative app for generating video clips and images from text prompts or reference images. It runs on Luma's own models (Ray for video, Photon for images) and lets users iterate on a chat-like board, extend shots and control camera motion. It is available on the web and iOS, and the models are also offered through an API.
