Luma AI has announced the launch of Ray3.14, a major update to its reasoning video model Ray3.

Ray3.14 delivers performance for animation, video-to-video, and cinematic workflows where temporal stability, motion fidelity and consistency are essential, according to Luma AI.

Built specifically for professional creative environments, Ray3.14 combines native 1080p outputs, four-times-faster generation speeds, and per-second pricing that is three times cheaper, eliminating the quality-speed-cost trade-off in generative video, according to Luma AI.

“The model delivers the highest quality and stability Luma has ever achieved, excelling in animation-heavy and high-fidelity workflows where other models struggle with frequent flicker, drift and inconsistency,” according to the company.

Ray3 pioneered reasoning-based video generation by understanding scenes holistically, maintaining coherence across motion, lighting, characters and camera behavior, according to the company. With Ray3.14, that reasoning engine is applied even more powerfully to animation and professional video workflows, producing higher detail adherence, Luma AI reports.

“Ray3.14 is designed for creators who need animation and video to behave like real production assets,” Amit Jain, CEO and co-founder of Luma AI, said in a statement. “By delivering native 1080p, dramatically faster generation, and per-second pricing that is three times cheaper, we’re giving advertisers and filmmakers a model that excels in animation and can be trusted for real-world creative workflows.”

Luma AI reports that new Ray3.14 updates include:

• Best-ever quality and stability for animation and video-to-video workflows — Ray3.14 delivers Luma’s highest level of visual stability to date, excelling in animation and video-to-video use cases where temporal coherence and motion fidelity are critical. Characters, environments and styles remain consistent across frames, enabling narrative continuity, polished animation and production-ready outputs.
• Native 1080p across core workflows — Ray3.14 generates video natively at 1080p, eliminating the need for post-upscaling or quality compromises. Outputs are suitable for broadcast, streaming and digital delivery, allowing footage to move directly into editorial, finishing and distribution pipelines.
• Industry-leading speed for real creative iteration — With generation speeds four times faster, Ray3.14 enables teams to iterate under real production timelines. Compared to competitive AI video models, Ray3.14 delivers substantially faster time-to-first-frame and end-to-end generation, allowing agencies and filmmakers to explore more concepts, review options side-by-side, and reduce downstream revisions.
• Per-second pricing designed for production scale — Ray3.14 introduces dramatically improved per-second economics. For a typical five-second video, costs are reduced by a factor of three, making AI video viable for campaign-scale use cases such as multiple formats, cut-downs and regional variations. This pricing model provides predictable costs and enables creative teams to scale output without increasing budgets.
