The brief

Analyst view
  • Ray3 released September 2025 as a video reasoning model. Ray3.14 released January 2026 for faster generation at lower cost.
  • $900M Series C in November 2025 led by HUMAIN supports training on 2 GW Saudi supercluster for AI.
  • Builds multimodal foundation models for video generation, understanding, reasoning for content creation and automation.

Technical approach

As reported
Video understanding

Reasoning about temporal sequences

Ray3 processes entire videos to understand causality, motion and object relationships across frames, enabling detailed video analysis.

Multimodal training

Learning from diverse data

Models trained on video, audio and text together learn richer representations, capturing interactions between information types.

Scale through partnership

Compute from Saudi Arabia

A 2 GW supercluster accelerates iteration and enables exploring larger architectures that improve reasoning.
