Luma’s mission is to build multimodal AI to expand human imagination and capabilities.

We believe that multimodality is critical for intelligence. To go beyond language models and build more aware, capable and useful systems, the next step function change will come from vision. So, we are working on training and scaling up multimodal foundation models for systems that can see and understand, show and explain, and eventually interact with our world to effect change.

We are looking for people who mix strong technical ML skills, boundless curiosity and a constant desire to make better products. You’ll be part of Luma’s applied research team and work directly on mission critical work streams utilizing thousands of GPUs.
