About the role
You'll turn Luma's industry-leading generative video models into world models: interactive, controllable, physically faithful, and useful as a substrate for embodied reasoning. This is the role at the center of the thesis.
You'll invent next-generation world-model architectures and the controllability that lets an agent step into a generated world, and own the metrics that define success. It fits a researcher with deep generative-modeling or model-based-RL expertise who has trained models to the limits of a multi-node cluster. If you want a narrow, well-scoped research problem, this is broader and more open-ended than that.
