Ray3 Launches First Reasoning AI Video Model with Native 16-bit HDR Capabilities

Ray3 has introduced what it claims to be the first reasoning AI video model featuring native 16-bit HDR output, targeting filmmakers, advertisers, and content creators seeking studio-grade video production with improved fidelity and logical consistency. The model supports ACES EXR formats with 10-, 12-, and 16-bit HDR, ensuring accurate color reproduction and a rich dynamic range that meets professional standards.

The platform includes two distinct modes: Draft Mode, which allows for rapid concept video generation at five times the speed and lower cost, and HiFi Mode, which refines content into cinematic-quality outputs. These features are designed to streamline the creative process from initial ideation to final production, addressing the need for both speed and high fidelity in video creation.

Key capabilities of Ray3 include reasoning intelligence for coherence and physical accuracy, precision controls with keyframes, loops, annotations, and image-to-video conversion, as well as cinematic visuals such as depth of field, reflections, and motion blur. The model is built for professional workflow compatibility, integrating with ACES pipelines and Adobe tools, which are widely used in the industry.

According to the company's CEO, Ray3 bridges the gap between fast AI prototyping and production-quality output, delivering both efficiency and cinematic results. The global availability of Ray3 enables creators and production teams to request early access and demos, potentially transforming how video content is produced across various sectors by combining advanced AI reasoning with high dynamic range technology.
