**LTX-2** is the first DiT-based audio-video foundation model that contains all core capabilities of modern video generation in one model: synchronized audio and video, high fidelity, multiple performance modes, production-ready outputs, API access, and open access.
## 🚀 Quick Start
Clone the repo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-2.git
cd LTX-2
```
Download the relevant [models](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.3) or use the [Hugging Face CLI](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/cli)
```bash
hf auth login
hf download Lightricks/LTX-2.3 \
ltx-2.3-22b-distilled-1.1.safetensors ltx-2.3-spatial-upscaler-x2-1.1.safetensors --local-dir models/ltx-2.3
hf download google/gemma-3-12b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized --local-dir models/gemma-3-12b
```
If you get a 401/403, accept the model terms on Hugging Face and log in with a **Read** token (fine-grained tokens need the "read gated repos" scope enabled).
Generate
```bash
uv run python -m ltx_pipelines.distilled \

--prompt "A medium close-up shot features a Caucasian man with a beard, wearing a green and white baseball cap without any letters on the front, and a light blue shirt over a white t-shirt. He is positioned in the center of the frame, looking intently directly at the camera, his eyes focused on camera. His facial expression is one of deep concentration, with his brow slightly raised. As he looks straight at the camera, a quick sniff sound is heard, and then he speaks with a deep male voice and a satisfied tone, saying, 'I think it's so good.' The camera remains static throughout, maintaining a shallow depth of field, which keeps the man in sharp focus while the background is softly blurred, showing a beige wall behind him. After a brief pause, another short, audible sniff is heard. The man then continues to speak, his voice maintaining the same quality, as he states, 'So good. So good.' He elaborates further, emphasizing his point with a final statement, 'This got to be, it's got to be the best tool I've ever seen.'"

In cases of GPU memory constraints, consider `--quantization fp8-cast --offload {cpu, disk}`. See [additional flags](packages/ltx-pipelines/docs/installation.md#common-cli-flags).
This uses the distilled model and pipeline for fast results. For better quality or other capabilities, see [Models](#full-model-list) and [Pipelines](#available-pipelines).

* **[LipDubPipeline](packages/ltx-pipelines/src/ltx_pipelines/lipdub.py)** - Lip dubbing, rephrasing, matching speaker identity (distilled model, single IC-LoRA, Two stages).
### ⚡ Optimization Tips
* **Use DistilledPipeline** - Fastest inference with only 8 predefined sigmas (8 steps stage 1, 4 steps stage 2)
* **Enable FP8 quantization** - Enables lower memory footprint: `--quantization fp8-cast` (CLI) or `quantization=QuantizationPolicy.fp8_cast()` (Python). Fp8-cast should be used with bf16 checkpoints, it shall downcast them on the fly. On Hopper+ GPUs with native FP8 support, use `--quantization fp8-scaled-mm` for FP8 scaled matrix multiplication. Fp8-scaled-mm should be used with fp8 checkpoints.
* **Install attention optimizations** - On datacenter Blackwell GPUs (B200), install FlashAttention 4 manually: `uv pip install 'flash-attn-4==4.0.0b9'` (this specific revision is the one we have verified against torch 2.9.1+cu128; newer betas have known issues on consumer Blackwell). On Hopper GPUs, install the FlashAttention 3 wheel. On other CUDA GPUs, PyTorch SDPA is used automatically. An installed backend is selected automatically at runtime; forcing a specific one is a Python-API option (`AttentionFunction.FLASH_ATTENTION_3`/`FLASH_ATTENTION_4`), not a CLI flag.
* **Use gradient estimation** - Reduce inference steps from 40 to 20-30 while maintaining quality (see [pipeline documentation](packages/ltx-pipelines/docs/optimization.md#denoising-loop-optimization))
* **Skip memory cleanup** - If you have sufficient VRAM, disable automatic memory cleanup between stages for faster processing
* **Choose single-stage pipeline** - Use `TI2VidOneStagePipeline` for faster generation when high resolution isn't required
## ✍️ Prompting for LTX-2
When writing prompts, focus on detailed, chronological descriptions of actions and scenes. Include specific movements, appearances, camera angles, and environmental details - all in a single flowing paragraph. Start directly with the action, and keep descriptions literal and precise. Think like a cinematographer describing a shot list. Keep within 200 words. For best results, build your prompts using this structure:
- Start with main action in a single sentence
- Add specific details about movements and gestures
- Describe character/object appearances precisely
- Include background and environment details
- Specify camera angles and movements
- Describe lighting and colors
- Note any changes or sudden events
For additional guidance on writing a prompt please refer to
### Automatic Prompt Enhancement
LTX-2 pipelines support automatic prompt enhancement via an `enhance_prompt` parameter.
