Description of Luma Dream Machine
The Dream Machine page on lumalabs.ai no longer uses the Dream Machine name in its text. It describes Luma Agents, an AI creative workspace for images, video, audio and text, so the product may have been renamed or folded into a broader offering. Its FAQ says users can animate still images into video, add camera motion, create transitions between frames, extend scenes and apply style changes.
The workspace lists Luma's own models, Ray3.2, Uni-1 and Ray3.14, alongside models from other providers, including Nano Banana, GPT Image 2, Seedream, Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, Seedance 2.0 and ElevenLabs audio models. This lets one subscription cover several generators. The page refers to a web app at app.lumalabs.ai and does not mention an iOS app. The footer was not captured in the text we read, so we state no company name.
The pricing page lists a Plus plan at $30 per month when billed monthly, or $25 per month billed yearly at $300, with 10,000 credits. It does not describe a free plan, free credits or a watermark policy, although the site offers a try-for-free entry point, so we record the model as paid and flag the free-tier details as unconfirmed. Credit costs differ by model, so how far 10,000 credits go depends on which generator you pick.
Our existing directory record for Luma describes the older 3D-capture product, so it needs rewriting for the current offering.
