Luma releases Ray3.2 with first API
Luma's Ray3.2 video model adds keyframe-level direction, 20-second 1080p clips and EXR output, and for the first time opens the model through an API, a bid for professional production pipelines.
Luma announced Ray3.2, an update to its Ray3 video generation models. The company says it designed the release with creatives from the entertainment, advertising and gaming industries. The headline change is control. Users can now set up to 16 keyframes in a single clip to fix pacing, camera paths and narrative beats against a storyboard.
Other features Luma lists:
- Performance tracking: carries over actors' skeletal posture and gestures, and tracks facial expression for up to eight faces at once, frame by frame.
- HDR generation with 16-bit EXR export: intended to fit directly into VFX color grading and compositing work.
- Enhanced Reframe: changes aspect ratios, extends the frame or replaces a background after generation, while keeping the original lighting.
- Longer clips: up to 20 seconds at 1080p.
For the first time, Luma is offering Ray as an API. The company says the API exposes "the full control surface" of the model and can be integrated into render farms, in-house tools and third-party creative apps without middleware.
The announcement leaves out several details. It gives no pricing, rate limits or API documentation, and it doesn't say which plans or regions get access. Luma published no benchmarks or quality comparisons against earlier Ray versions or rival video models. All feature descriptions come from Luma's own release.
