LTX-2.5 is an open world model with open weights, built for local execution and fine-tuning. Its established use is generating synchronized, high-fidelity video and audio from text, image, and video inputs; applicability to emerging domains such as robotics and physical AI is developing.

Full control and customization — self-host on your own infrastructure. No per-generation billing, no per-seat lock-in, no forced API dependency. Revenue is measured across the whole entity, including subsidiaries and affiliates under common control. The full, binding terms live in LICENSE.

What's new in LTX-2.5

  • Native multishot generation — generate connected scenes in a single pass: multiple shots that hold character identity, environment, lighting, voice, and visual style across cuts (previous versions produced a single continuous shot).
  • Diffusion fidelity rendering — Instead of locking every scene to one compression rate, our model dynamically allocates compute by scene complexity and budget, rendering flawless detail where it matters, efficient everywhere else.
  • New diffusion video decoder — replaces the VAE reconstruction stage; sharper faces, textures, and on-screen text, better motion, and fewer artifacts in demanding scenes.
  • Custom Gemma 4 12B text encoder — holds complex prompts together (multiple characters, camera moves, lighting, actions) instead of dropping details across a longer sequence.
  • Prompt enhancer — expands a short prompt into richer cinematic instructions at minimal extra compute.
  • Duration predictor (optional) — an opt-in node predicts a clip's length from the prompt and sets the frame count for you, instead of relying on a fixed-duration parameter.
  • Substantially improved distilled model — retains much more of the full model's visual quality, prompt adherence, and motion consistency in a smaller, faster checkpoint.

Model family & checkpoints

LTX-2.5 ships as a split, Comfy-aligned pack (one .safetensors per component) rather than a single monolith. Point each CLI flag / loader at the file below.

Usage

Online demo

Try LTX-2.5 in the API Playground without installing anything locally.

Option A — Python (ltx-pipelines)

Weights on this repo are split (Comfy-aligned): one safetensors file per component. The LTX-2 ltx-pipelines package loads them via --transformer-path, --text-encoder-path, etc.

Install

git clone https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-2.git
cd LTX-2
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

Python >= 3.12, CUDA >= 12.7, PyTorch ~= 2.7 recommended. See the repo README for attention backends and optional extras.

  --output-path output_distilled.mp4

Omit --num-frames to let the duration head pick a length from the prompt (LTX-2.5+). Or set e.g. --num-frames 121 (must satisfy frames % 8 == 1). Width/height must be divisible by 32.

Low-VRAM tips

# Downcast bf16 transformer on the fly + CPU offload
  ...existing flags... \
  --quantization fp8-cast \
  --offload cpu

Use the bf16 checkpoints with ltx-pipelines. The *-comfy-int8-convrot.safetensors files are ComfyUI-only and are not loaded by this PyTorch path.

Constraints

  • Frame count: num_frames % 8 == 1 (1, 9, 17, …, 121, …)
  • Width and height divisible by 32

Prompting

Well-structured, detailed prompts materially improve results. For multishot prompting and a full guide, see How to prompt LTX-2.


Training & fine-tuning

The dev transformer is fully trainable. Reproduce published LoRAs and IC-LoRAs with the LTX-2 Trainer.

Based on our testing, the large majority of LoRAs and IC-LoRAs trained on LTX-2.3 run on LTX-2.5 without changes. A small number of exceptions exist — validate your adapters before production use.


Limitations

  • This model is not intended or able to provide factual information.
  • As a statistical model, this checkpoint may amplify existing societal biases.
  • Prompt following is heavily influenced by prompting style.
  • The model may fail to generate videos that match the prompt perfectly.
  • The model may generate content that is inappropriate or offensive.
