# LTX-2.3 Distilled v1.1 (Diffusers)

Diffusers-format weights for the **v1.1** distilled checkpoint of
[Lightricks/LTX-2.3](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.3) — a DiT-based foundation
model that jointly generates synchronized video and audio. Runs in **8 steps with CFG = 1**.

This is an unofficial staging conversion. The existing
[`diffusers/LTX-2.3-Distilled-Diffusers`](https://huggingface.co/diffusers/LTX-2.3-Distilled-Diffusers)
repo was converted before the upstream v1.1 distilled checkpoint was published
(v1.0 dates to Mar 5, this repo's source `dg845/LTX-2.3-Distilled-Diffusers` conversion was
done Mar 14, and the v1.1 checkpoint was added upstream on Apr 13) — so that repo still ships
v1.0 weights. This repo swaps in the v1.1 `transformer/` weights on top of the same base
pipeline; every other component (VAE, audio VAE, text encoder, tokenizer, connectors, vocoder,
scheduler config) is unchanged from `diffusers/LTX-2.3-Distilled-Diffusers` and was not
re-converted, since only the DiT was updated upstream.

## Source checkpoint

- File: `ltx-2.3-22b-distilled-1.1.safetensors` from
  [`Lightricks/LTX-2.3`](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.3)
- Converted with `scripts/convert_ltx2_to_diffusers.py --version 2.3 --dit` from a
  local `huggingface/diffusers` checkout (`0.40.0.dev0`).
- Architecture (`transformer/config.json`) is byte-for-byte identical to the v1.0 conversion in
  `diffusers/LTX-2.3-Distilled-Diffusers` aside from the `_diffusers_version` metadata field —
  only the weights changed upstream.

## Usage

Requires a recent build of `diffusers` with LTX-2 support:

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

```python
import torch
from diffusers import LTX2Pipeline
from diffusers.pipelines.ltx2.export_utils import encode_video
from diffusers.pipelines.ltx2.utils import DEFAULT_NEGATIVE_PROMPT, DISTILLED_SIGMA_VALUES

pipe = LTX2Pipeline.from_pretrained(
    "rootonchair/LTX-2.3-Distilled-v1.1-Diffusers", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16
)
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

prompt = "A flowing river in a forest at golden hour, gentle wind in the leaves."
frame_rate = 24.0

video, audio = pipe(
    prompt=prompt,
    negative_prompt=DEFAULT_NEGATIVE_PROMPT,
    width=768,
    height=512,
    num_frames=121,
    frame_rate=frame_rate,
    num_inference_steps=8,
    sigmas=DISTILLED_SIGMA_VALUES,
    guidance_scale=1.0,
    output_type="np",
    return_dict=False,
)

encode_video(
    video[0],
    fps=frame_rate,
    audio=audio[0].float().cpu(),
    audio_sample_rate=pipe.vocoder.config.output_sampling_rate,
    output_path="ltx2_distilled_v1_1_t2v.mp4",
)
```

## Notes

- `width`/`height` must be divisible by 32; `num_frames` must equal `8k + 1`.
- Always pass `sigmas=DISTILLED_SIGMA_VALUES`, `num_inference_steps=8`, `guidance_scale=1.0`
  for this distilled checkpoint.
- See the [Diffusers LTX-2 docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/pipelines/ltx2)
  for multimodal guidance, prompt enhancement, and the upscaling/refinement pipeline.
