Episode notes

A comparison between neural radiance fields and Gaussian splats in representing 3D scenes, with neural radiance fields being GPU-intensive and Gaussian splats more computationally efficient. The chapter also explores the technology behind the Genie tool for generating 3D objects from text descriptions, leading to the development of the Gini product for creating 3D models with ease.

Luma AI develops technologies at the forefront of AI and graphics. They created a text-to-3D tool that functions like Midjourney but for generating 3D models. Another tool makes photorealistic environments by reconstructing any scene in 3D from just a few photos.

Karan Ganesan is a Software Engineer and Barkley Dai is the Product and Growth Lead at Luma AI. They join the show to talk about the origin of the company and the technologies it uses.

Gregor Vand is a security-focused technologist, and is the founder and CTO of Mailpass. Previously, Gregor was a CTO across cybersecurity, cyber insurance and general software engineering companies. He has been based in Asia Pacific for almost a decade and can be found via his profile at vand.hk.
