My read on LTX-2 is different from the technical coverage I’m seeing. This is a $1.8B company that just gave away their crown jewels. And it might be the smartest thing theyve done. Here’s the math on why open-sourcing makes strategic sense. Lightricks has 6.6 million paying subscribers generating roughly $80M in annual revenue from apps like Facetune. Their core business model is consumer subscriptions on mobile. But the AI video market is consolidating FAST. Sora, Kling, Veo, Runway… all closed systems with proprietary weights. The big players are racing to lock in developers and enterprise customers through API contracts. Lightricks can’t win that game at their scale. So they flipped the table. By open-sourcing LTX-2 with full training code, they’re making a bet on ecosystem dynamics. If ComfyUI workflows and indie developers standardize on LTX-2, Lightricks becomes the de facto foundation layer for audiovisual generation. The real product becomes LTX Studio. Which charges for the UI, collaboration features, and enterprise support. It’s the Red Hat playbook. Give away the engine. Sell the gas station. What makes this interesting is the timing. They dropped this at CES 2026 alongside NVIDIA optimizations that cut model size by 30% and double inference speed on consumer RTX cards. That NVFP8 quantization means a 19B parameter model runs on hardware people already own. Compare that to Sora, which still has limited access and undisclosed pricing. Or Kling, which requires cloud API calls. The constraints are flipping. Access used to be the bottleneck. Now compute is. And Lightricks just positioned themselves on the right side of that shift. The failure mode here is if the community fragments. If developers choose other open models or the proprietary players drop prices agressively enough to make local compute irrelevant. But my guess is that’s a 2-3 year window minimum. And in that window, Lightricks has a shot at becoming the default standard. The 18x faster inference stat buried in the paper matters more than the 4K resolution. Speed determines iteration cycles. Iteration cycles determine adoption. This is a product strategy disguised as a research paper.

Fast matters. LTX-2 is the fastest open-source model in its class, up to 18x faster than competitors.

LTX-2 is natively supported in ComfyUI on Day 0 🎬🔊 The next chapter in controllability for open-source video generation. - Open-source audio-video foundation model - Generates motion, dialogue, SFX, and music together - Canny, Depth & Pose video-to-video control - Keyframe-driven generation - Native upscaling and prompt enhancement Everything in a single pass.

🚀 Long shot generation in LTXV-13B Now supports up to 60 seconds of video! • Auto-regressive generation (up to 60s) • Standard generation (up to 20s) • Streamable on H100 with low latency • Compatible with control LoRAs (released last week) • Time-varying prompts supported

🚀 A new way to control AI video generation - by concatenation of control signals and LoRAs trained on just a few samples We’re releasing 3 control LoRAs for LTX-Video: open-pose, depth, and canny edges. Plus: training code so you can build your own types of control. 🧵

🔥 Following the amazing feedback we got for LTX-Video-13B, we’re now releasing: ⚡ 13B v0.9.7-distilled – HD videos in 10s instead of 50s – Low-res preview in 3s – Supports LoRA trained on the base model ⚡ 13B v0.9.7-distilled-fp8 (quantized) ⚡ 13B v0.9.7-distilled-lora

🚀 We just released LTX-Video 13B – our most powerful open-source video generation model yet. – 13B parameters – Multiscale rendering for better fine details – Better motion and scene understanding – Still fast - runs on local GPUs – Supports keyframes, camera/character motion & multi-shot sequences

Far from perfect but done completely with local open source tooling on a 4090... for "free" 1) Make a ref image using FLUX 2) Use LTX video 2 video with the nodes below This video model is smaller than SDXL.... wait until we get 5b-10b variant and it's GG

(1/13) We’ve been working on something special ✨ Introducing LTX Video, Lightricks’ new open-source, community-driven model for video generation. Create breathtaking videos in moments, blazing past traditional playback speeds—this is LTX Video. Learn more below.
