AI video with visual reasoning, studio-grade HDR, and fast draft iteration
Luma Ray 3.14, released January 2026, builds on the reasoning-based approach introduced in Ray 3. The model works through the visual problem before committing to a generation, which tends to produce better results with fewer retries. Ray 3.14 adds native 1080p output, processing that is 4x faster than Ray 3.0, and costs 3x less per generation. The Hi-Fi Diffusion system generates studio-grade HDR with native high dynamic range color, and outputs can be exported as 16-bit EXR files for professional compositing workflows. Draft Mode runs 5x faster and costs 5x less — useful for exploring ideas before committing credits to final output. Ray3 Modify allows video-to-video editing with keyframe and character reference controls. The Annotation feature lets you draw on a reference image to specify motion direction without writing prompt text. Maximum clip length is 10 seconds, extendable, and native output tops at 1080p with 4K available through the Hi-Fi Diffusion upscaling path.
Professional video creators and compositors who need HDR-accurate output, 16-bit EXR delivery, and a fast draft-to-final iteration workflow.
Users who need simple, fast results without learning a reasoning-based interface, or those who need clips longer than 10 seconds.
