Luma AI, a video generation AI startup, said it has raised $900 million in a Series C funding round led by Humain, which is AI company owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
AMD Ventures, and existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Amplify Partners, and Matrix Partners participated in the funding round, said Luma Ai in a statement.
The fresh capital will help the startup to train its large scale world models, it added.
"We are also partnering deeply across customized models, go-to-market, and deployment of frontier capabilities to build a full end-to-end value-chain for multimodal AI," said Amit Jain, CEO and co-founder of Luma AI.
Tareq Amin, CEO of Humain, noted that its investment in Luma AI combined with Humain's 2GW supercluster will help them to train, deploy, and scale multimodal intelligence at a frontier level.
Luma AI, which was founded in 2021 by Jain, Alberto Taiuti, and Alex Yu, started as a venture by letting people capture objects in 3D using their smartphones. It says that it is now building a multimodal general intelligence that can generate, understand, and operate in the physical world. This year, it launched Ray3, a reasoning video model that it claims can produce physically accurate videos, animations and visuals.
Prior to this funding round, Luma AI had raised $43 million in Series B last year from Andreessen Horowitz, among others.
