Close on the heels of Sora & Kling, comes a new contender – Dream Machine. California-based startup Luma AI, which focuses on visual AI, has unveiled this new video generator that stands out due to its use of AI to create realistic visual content.
One of the key differentiators is the photorealistic quality of its videos. The AI algorithms employed by Luma meticulously analyse and enhance every detail, from texture to lighting, ensuring that the final output looks almost indistinguishable from real-world footage.
A prime contributor to Luma’s success is AWS. Amazon’s cloud computing subsidiary has provided Luma AI with the infrastructure, exposure and practical applications, showcasing its capabilities in streamlining production processes.
“Great to see how AWS H100 training infrastructure helped the Luma AI team reduce time to train foundation models and support the launch of Dream Machine,” said Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president for data and machine learning services, AWS.
Co-founded in 2021 by CEO Amit Jain, Luma AI is currently based in San Francisco, California.
AIM decided to try out Dream Machine to produce a video. Here’s a look at it.
Meanwhile, we have also compiled a list of the top 10 mind-blowing videos produced by Dream Machine.
