We build multimodal AI that generates, understands, and operates in the physical world.

What's the culture like at Luma?

Our headquarters is in Palo Alto, California, with offices opening in Seattle and London. We also have team members in New York, Los Angeles, and Toronto. For roles that support remote work, we fly team members in throughout the year for in-person collaboration.
