“Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and support!” Berkeley Dai, Luma's head of product and growth, posted a message on the company's Discord channel on Wednesday. “We are currently[ly] Demand is increasing and we are working to expand capacity. Not all generations will be lost, but they will remain in the queue. Once capacity is added, we will update the status here.
As of Thursday morning, wait times for Dream Machine's service were just over a minute, a significant improvement from the previous afternoon. One reason for Dream Machine's immediate success can be attributed to an earlier effort by Luma to reach out to prominent AI video creators ahead of the public beta release, giving them advance previews of the model's capabilities and allowing them to share their creations that day.
