New on LUVI between September 25 and October 17, 2026: 22 models, from lyrics to 3D

From September 25 to October 17, 2026, LUVI added 22 models in eight families: Luma Ray 3.2 and Uni 1, HI3D, Seedream 5.0 layer splitting, Nano Banana 2.1, Suno v6, MiniMax Music 3.0 and MiniMax Lyrics. Prices start at 20 credits for a lyric sheet.

Seven small glowing objects stand in an arc on a dark floor in front of open wooden crates: a film frame, a landscape tile, a faceted fox figurine, a stack of translucent layers, a grooved disc, a sky-colored panel and a cube of light.

Between September 25 and October 17, 2026, 22 models went live in LUVI's model catalog, in eight families. Four of the families are new to LUVI: Luma Ray, Luma Uni, HI3D and MiniMax Lyrics. The other four grew: Seedream, Nano Banana, Suno Chirp and MiniMax Music. This is the list as of October 20, 2026, with what each model is for and where its price starts. Every "from" price below is the catalog price at the model's default settings, read from the catalog data and from the live model page on the same day.

What arrived on September 25?

Three families arrived on September 25: one for video, one for images and one for 3D.

Luma Ray 3.2 is Luma's video model in four modes. Text-to-video and image-to-video start at 660 credits for a five-second clip at the default 720p; a ten-second clip costs three times as much, and 1080p four times as much. Image-to-video takes an optional last frame to set where the motion lands, and five-second clips can loop seamlessly. Both come back silent. The other two modes work on a clip you already have and keep its sound: video-to-video restyles it from a text instruction, and Reframe turns it into another aspect ratio, for example 16:9 into 9:16, while the prompt says what stays in frame. Reframe is billed per second of the source, up to 30 seconds, so its price shows when you add the clip.

Luma Uni 1 makes and edits images in seven aspect ratios, as JPEG or PNG. Uni 1 text-to-image starts at 89 credits and Uni 1 edit at 96. The higher-quality Uni 1 Max starts at 220 for text-to-image and 227 for edits.

HI3D turns one photo, or up to four views of the same object, into a textured GLB mesh with PBR materials. It comes in four tiers that trade time for detail: v2.1 Fast from 850 credits (about 7 to 10 minutes), v2.1 Pro from 1,530, v3.0 Quality from 2,210, and v3.0 Master from 10,370. Master has a five-million-face budget for hero assets and 3D printing and can run for up to about 80 minutes.

What came in early October?

Two image additions arrived in early October, and the first one is a new kind of job rather than a new picture model.

Seedream 5.0 layer decomposition (October 6, in Pro and Flash) splits one image into an editable stack: a base image with the area behind each element filled in, plus up to 16 transparent PNG layers. With no prompt it separates every major element; a prompt picks the ones you want. The price follows the number of layers the model returns, so the quote appears before the run rather than as a fixed "from" figure. In LUVI you can start a split from the workspace or the library, and export any single layer to your library as its own PNG.

Nano Banana 2.1 (October 9) is Google's update to Nano Banana 2, in three modes. Text-to-image starts at 80 credits at 1K, edit at 83, and reference-to-image at 400. That last one reads a video clip of up to 25 minutes and makes a still from it: a thumbnail, a poster or a summary infographic. LUVI's prompting guide for 2.1 has one rule that saves the most retries: aspect ratio and resolution are settings, so "16:9" or "4K" written into the prompt does nothing, and on a conflict the setting wins.

What arrived for music on October 17?

Five audio models arrived on October 17, all priced flat per generation.

  • Suno v6, v6 mini and v6 wild make a full song, vocal or instrumental, at 264 credits per generation, and each generation returns two takes. The three share every setting and differ only in engine. Suno's older versions had already left the catalog on September 22.
  • MiniMax Music 3.0 makes one finished, mixed song of up to five minutes for 300 credits. Leave its Lyrics field empty and the model writes the words itself.
  • MiniMax Lyrics Generation writes a lyric sheet, with title, style line and verse and chorus sections, for 20 credits. It returns text, ready to paste into a music model.

How do you spot the new ones in the catalog?

Most of these models carry an amber New badge in the catalog and in the workspace model picker, and the badge expires on a date set for each model. For this batch it runs until October 25 for Luma and HI3D, until November 9 for Nano Banana 2.1, and until November 16 for the three Suno engines and the two MiniMax models. The two Seedream layer models were published without a badge date, so they show no badge at all. Each model page lists its parameters, its inputs and the price at default settings, and every run shows its exact quote before it starts.

How we checked

  • What was read, and when: On October 20, 2026, the catalog entries added since September 20 with their status and "new" dates, the public catalog as LUVI's own code builds it, each model page as a visitor sees it, the parameter contracts through the LUVI connector, the release history of LUVI's code, and LUVI's prompting guide for Nano Banana 2.1.
  • Results: 22 public models in eight families; every "from" price above matched between the catalog data and the live page. Four models have no fixed "from" price because they are priced by their input: the two layer-decomposition models, Luma Ray 3.2 video-to-video and Reframe. No outputs were generated for this post, so it makes no claim about output quality.
  • Drawbacks: Models that were added in the same period but are not yet public are left out.

In LUVI

Every model above opens from its page with "Open in workspace". If you want to try several of them on one idea, the help center's guide to choosing a model is a good first stop. New accounts start with 200 credits, and verifying a phone and a card adds up to 1,500 more. Create a LUVI account to try the new ones.
