When Luma AI may still be the better choice
We believe in honesty. Here is where they have an edge.
If you specifically want Luma's Ray 2 or Ray 3.14 models — FairStack does not offer Luma's proprietary models
If you need Luma's 3D capture features (NeRF/Gaussian splatting) — FairStack is a generation platform, not a capture tool
