Minus One with Amit Jain, Founder & CEO of Luma AI
Amit Jain, cofounder and CEO of Luma AI & SPC alum, joins South Park Commons Partner Finn Meeks to explain why the most defensible AI companies aren’t just building tools, they’re developing systems that can understand and simulate the world.
Amit traces Luma’s path from a free 3D capture app designed to gather training data, through an early bet that video generation was finally viable, to the unified model architecture powering Luma Agents today. He explains why most AI products still break at execution, why foundation labs blur the line between product and research, and why they are the blueprint for the companies of the future.

Will LLMs become a thing of the past? World models are strictly better.
- Video generation alone isn’t enough. There’s a reason apps like Sora failed.* “In a foundation lab, there is no product or research.”
Minus One is series about the winding journeys the world’s most interesting people take to becoming great—and what they do when figuring out a question we all face: What’s Next? Because before you launch at Zero, you have to figure out what to launch at Minus One. Hosted by South Park Commons Partners.
