**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`](https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-2/blob/main/LICENSE.md).


## 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](https://console.ltx.video/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](https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-2) `ltx-pipelines` package loads them via `--transformer-path`, `--text-encoder-path`, etc.

#### Install

```bash
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](https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-2) for attention backends and optional extras.

#### Download weights

```bash

# Spatial upscaler (still hosted on LTX-2.3; required by the distilled pipeline)
hf download Lightricks/LTX-2.3 \
  ltx-2.3-spatial-upscaler-x2-1.1.safetensors \
  --local-dir models/ltx-2.3
```

#### Distilled text-to-video

```bash
uv run python -m ltx_pipelines.distilled \
  --transformer-path     models/ltx-2.5/diffusion_models/ltx-2.5-22b-distilled-transformer-bf16.safetensors \
  --text-encoder-path    models/ltx-2.5/text_encoders/gemma4-12b-with-proj-ltx-2.5-bf16.safetensors \
  --video-vae-path       models/ltx-2.5/vae/ltx-2.5-video-vae-bf16.safetensors \
  --audio-vae-path       models/ltx-2.5/vae/ltx-2.5-audio-vae-bf16.safetensors \
  --duration-head-path   models/ltx-2.5/model_patches/ltx-2.5-duration-head-bf16.safetensors \
  --spatial-upsampler-path models/ltx-2.3/ltx-2.3-spatial-upscaler-x2-1.1.safetensors \
  --prompt "A golden retriever running through a sunny meadow, cinematic lighting" \
  --seed 42 \
  --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.

#### Image-to-video

Add one or more `--image PATH FRAME_IDX STRENGTH` flags (frame 0 = first frame conditioning):

```bash

#### Low-VRAM tips

```bash
# 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.

#### Python API (same split paths)

```python
from ltx_pipelines.distilled import DistilledPipeline
from ltx_pipelines.utils.model_paths import ModelPaths

model_paths = ModelPaths.from_split(
    transformer_path="models/ltx-2.5/diffusion_models/ltx-2.5-22b-distilled-transformer-bf16.safetensors",
    text_encoder_path="models/ltx-2.5/text_encoders/gemma4-12b-with-proj-ltx-2.5-bf16.safetensors",
    video_vae_path="models/ltx-2.5/vae/ltx-2.5-video-vae-bf16.safetensors",
    audio_vae_path="models/ltx-2.5/vae/ltx-2.5-audio-vae-bf16.safetensors",
    duration_head_path="models/ltx-2.5/model_patches/ltx-2.5-duration-head-bf16.safetensors",
)

pipe = DistilledPipeline(
    model_paths=model_paths,
    spatial_upsampler_path="models/ltx-2.3/ltx-2.3-spatial-upscaler-x2-1.1.safetensors",

# See packages/ltx-pipelines for __call__ args (prompt, seed, num_frames, images, ...).
```

```bash
uv run python -m ltx_pipelines.distilled --help
```

### Option B — ComfyUI

Official LTX-2.5 workflow templates ship in ComfyUI. Full instructions: [ComfyUI integration](https://docs.ltx.video/open-source-model/integration-tools/comfy-ui).

### Option C — Diffusers

A Diffusers-compatible pack lives at [`Lightricks/LTX-2.5-Diffusers`](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.5-Diffusers) — same model, Diffusers-friendly packaging.

#### Install

LTX-2.5 support is not in a `diffusers` release yet, so install from main:

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers
```

#### Image-to-video, two stages

```python
import torch
from diffusers import LTX2ImageToVideoPipeline, LTX2LatentUpsamplePipeline
from diffusers.pipelines.ltx2.latent_upsampler import LTX2LatentUpsamplerModel
from diffusers.pipelines.ltx2.utils import (
    DEFAULT_NEGATIVE_PROMPT,
    DISTILLED_SIGMA_VALUES,
    STAGE_2_DISTILLED_SIGMA_VALUES,
)
from diffusers.utils import encode_video, load_image

MODEL_ID = "Lightricks/LTX-2.5-Diffusers"
# Stage 1 resolution; stage 2 runs at 2x this.
HEIGHT, WIDTH, NUM_FRAMES, FRAME_RATE = 544, 960, 121, 24.0

pipe = LTX2ImageToVideoPipeline.from_pretrained(MODEL_ID, dtype=torch.bfloat16)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
pipe.vae.enable_tiling()  # stage 2 decodes at 2x

latent_upsampler = LTX2LatentUpsamplerModel.from_pretrained(
    MODEL_ID, subfolder="latent_upsampler", dtype=torch.bfloat16
).to("cuda")
upsample_pipe = LTX2LatentUpsamplePipeline(vae=pipe.vae, latent_upsampler=latent_upsampler)

generator = torch.Generator("cuda").manual_seed(42)
shared = dict(
    image=load_image("path/to/first_frame.jpg"),
    prompt="The camera slowly dollies out as wind moves through the grass",
    negative_prompt=DEFAULT_NEGATIVE_PROMPT,
    frame_rate=FRAME_RATE,
    guidance_scale=1.0,
    audio_guidance_scale=1.0,
    stg_scale=0.0,
    audio_stg_scale=0.0,
    modality_scale=1.0,
    audio_modality_scale=1.0,
    generator=generator,
    return_dict=False,
)

stage_1_latents, audio_latents = pipe(
    height=HEIGHT, width=WIDTH, num_frames=NUM_FRAMES,
    sigmas=DISTILLED_SIGMA_VALUES, output_type="latent", **shared,
)

upsampled_latents = upsample_pipe(
    latents=stage_1_latents, output_type="latent", return_dict=False
)[0]

# Stage 2 takes its size from the upsampled latents, so pass no height/width.
video, audio = pipe(
    num_frames=NUM_FRAMES,
    sigmas=STAGE_2_DISTILLED_SIGMA_VALUES,
    latents=upsampled_latents,
    audio_latents=audio_latents,
    noise_scale=STAGE_2_DISTILLED_SIGMA_VALUES[0],
    output_type="np",
    **shared,
)

encode_video(
    video[0],
    fps=int(FRAME_RATE),
    output_path="output_i2v_two_stage.mp4",
    audio=audio[0].float().cpu(),
    audio_sample_rate=pipe.vocoder.config.output_sampling_rate,
)
```

### 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](https://docs.ltx.video/open-source-model/usage-guides/prompting-guide).

# Training & fine-tuning

The **dev** transformer is fully trainable. Reproduce published LoRAs and IC-LoRAs with the [LTX-2 Trainer](https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-2/blob/main/packages/ltx-trainer/README.md).

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.
