+726
Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Luma AI is a verifiable 'unicorn' in the generative media space with a valuation between $3.2B and $4B, confirming the user's market cap claim. While the submission text itself is low-quality (containing typos like 'AIis' and hyperbolic claims like 'most people'), the underlying project data regarding team size (166) and valuation is accurate. The project demonstrates exceptional Technical Innovation (NeRF/Gaussian Splatting/Video Gen) and Market Timing. The score is heavily buoyed by the objective reality of the company's success, though penalized by a 'Response Quality' factor due to the lazy submission details.
