Luma Labs partners with micro1 to power their VLM data engine with 500 expert video annotators

Luma Labs is fundamentally shaping the AI visual and video model landscape, building cutting-edge models that require highly detailed annotated datasets. Given the competition in their field, Luma needed to scale quickly without sacrificing the meticulous quality their models depend on. In this case study, we break down how micro1 became a key part of Luma Labs' training pipeline—powering core components of their Multi-Modal Al visual model development with the speed and precision needed to stay ahead of the curve.

Luma Labs needed to produce thousands of high-quality data annotations every day to support the development of their advanced video models. Meeting this demand required not only speed and precision, but also a coordinated effort from a large team of skilled experts—delivered under tight timelines in a highly competitive space.

We quickly mobilized a dedicated team of several hundred specialists, onboarding everyone in under 45 days. We also built a fully customized annotation platform tailored specifically to Luma's unique project needs. The platform includes detailed annotation capabilities and an intuitive KPI dashboard to dynamically track key performance metrics like annotation velocity, quality, and average handling time. Our rigorous hiring process and continuous quality assurance approach ensured every expert knew exactly what to do from day one, consistently hitting Luma's high standards.

Since kicking off the partnership, we’ve ramped up to deliver a steady stream of thousands of high quality data annotations on a daily basis. This level of throughput, combined with rigorous quality standards and close collaboration with the Luma team, has helped accelerate their model development and push the boundaries of what their video language systems can achieve. With micro1 as the data engine behind the scenes, Luma is scaling faster, training smarter, and staying ahead in an increasingly competitive field.

Our platform offers critical advantages:

• Full Control and Customization: Built specifically for Luma Labs' detailed requirements, ensuring flexibility and precision.
• Built-In Quality Assurance: Real-time quality checks embedded directly into the workflow, keeping standards consistently high.
  
• Operational Efficiency at Scale: Seamlessly managing large annotation volumes while hitting tight deadlines and maintaining top-notch quality.
