Deep dives
Multimodal General Intelligence Development
Luma AI aims to build multimodal general intelligence by jointly training models on diverse data types such as audio, video, language, and text. This holistic approach allows the models to learn in a way that mirrors human cognitive processes, enhancing their capability to interpret and generate content across different media. The focus on combining these modalities from the start, rather than pre-training on language alone, is presented as a revolutionary shift in AI model development. By grounding their models in a broader dataset that encompasses the entirety of humanity's digital interactions, Luma believes they can create more effective AI systems for real-world applications.
