Commercial Footprint with Ray3 and HUMAIN Create
Luma AI’s flagship Ray3 model has already achieved widespread adoption across studios, advertising agencies, and global brands, including being integrated into Adobe products. The new capital will support Luma AI’s expansion into simulation, design, and robotics.
The collaboration also strengthens HUMAIN Create, a regional initiative focused on developing culturally aligned AI models for the Arabic-speaking world. Luma AI was the first set of models integrated into the program to create sovereign AI solutions tailored to local linguistic, visual, and cultural contexts.
