| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Schaefer. |
| 0:02.8 | Luma AI has just raised $900 million in a funding round led by the Saudi AI firm, Humane. |
| 0:10.2 | In addition to that, Luma has released a new AI model that lets users generate a video from a start and an end frame. |
| 0:15.7 | I want to talk about some of the insane use cases and what we can see with AI and video on the show today. But before we do that, |
| 0:22.5 | this episode is sponsored by Delve. If compliance is slowing down your deals, this is for you. |
| 0:28.4 | Sock 2, HIPAA, GDPR, screenshots, spreadsheets, endless back and forth. Compliance busy work kills |
| 0:34.6 | momentum. That's why this episode is brought to by Delve. Delve uses AI agents to automate compliance end-to-end. |
| 0:41.1 | They collect evidence, fill out security questionnaires, and they customize controls to your actual |
| 0:46.0 | business so you can get compliance in days, not months. |
| 0:49.1 | You also get a one-on-one Slack support and you get that from a real security expert who |

| 1:10.7 | at the end of November. This was led by |

| 1:17.9 | companies beyond just getting this investment, they're also partnering to build a two gigawatt |
| 1:22.6 | AI supercluster, which they're calling Project Halo, and they're building that in Saudi Arabia. |
| 1:27.4 | So you can imagine there's a lot of kind of funds and work and partnerships happening inside |
| 1:32.9 | of Saudi Arabia, which I think is smart on their part. With all of this, Luma AI is now valued |
| 1:39.1 | at over $4 billion, which is an incredible valuation. So they kind of had this big funding round, |
| 1:45.3 | and along with this big funding round, they rolled out a brand new feature, which is really cool, |
