unsloth/LTX-2-FP8

This is an FP8 / INT8 quantized version of LTX-2.

• Optimized for efficient inference with reduced memory footprint. Same-seed first-frame LPIPS vs the bf16 model (lower is better): 0.23 INT8, 0.26 FP8 (same-seed 12-step first frame; suite means 0.24 / 0.26; per-case hard checks pass).

LTX-2 Model Card

This model card focuses on the LTX-2 model, as presented in the paper LTX-2: Efficient Joint Audio-Visual Foundation Model. The codebase is available here.

LTX-2 is a DiT-based audio-video foundation model designed to generate synchronized video and audio within a single model. It brings together the core building blocks of modern video generation, with open weights and a focus on practical, local execution.

Diffusers 🧨

LTX-2 is supported in the Diffusers Python library for text & image-to-video generation. Read more on LTX-2 with diffusers here.

Use with diffusers

To achieve production quality generation, it's recommended to use the two-stage generation pipeline. Example for 2-stage inference of text-to-video:

import torch
from diffusers import FlowMatchEulerDiscreteScheduler
from diffusers.pipelines.ltx2 import LTX2Pipeline, LTX2LatentUpsamplePipeline
from diffusers.pipelines.ltx2.latent_upsampler import LTX2LatentUpsamplerModel

General tips:

• Width & height settings must be divisible by 32. Frame count must be divisible by 8 + 1.
• In case the resolution or number of frames are not divisible by 32 or 8 + 1, the input should be padded with -1 and then cropped to the desired resolution and number of frames.
• For tips on writing effective prompts, please visit our Prompting guide

Limitations

• This model is not intended or able to provide factual information.
• As a statistical model this checkpoint might amplify existing societal biases.
• The model may fail to generate videos that matches the prompts perfectly.
• Prompt following is heavily influenced by the prompting-style.
• The model may generate content that is inappropriate or offensive.
• When generating audio without speech, the audio may be of lower quality.

Train the model

The base (dev) model is fully trainable.

It's extremely easy to reproduce the LoRAs and IC-LoRAs we publish with the model by following the instructions on the LTX-2 Trainer Readme.

Training for motion, style or likeness (sound+appearance) can take less than an hour in many settings.

Quantized transformer checkpoints (this repo)

This repo adds pre-quantized diffusion transformer checkpoints for Lightricks/LTX-2, built with torchao dynamic activation quantization from the dense bf16 transformer of the diffusers-format release (Lightricks/LTX-2). The official model card above is unchanged from the source repo.

Files:

• LTX-2-INT8.pt (19.1 GB)
• LTX-2-FP8.pt (18.9 GB)

Details:

• int8: Int8DynamicActivationInt8WeightConfig (per-token activation, per-channel weight, torch._int_mm).
• fp8: Float8DynamicActivationFloat8WeightConfig with PerRow granularity (e4m3, torch._scaled_mm). The loader must floor the dynamic activation scale (activation_value_lb=1e-12 on torchao 0.13+) so all-zero activation token rows cannot produce a zero scale.
• Loading a checkpoint is bit-identical to quantizing the dense bf16 transformer on the fly; the checkpoint skips the dense load and quantize step.
• Dual-expert pipelines (Wan2.2 A14B) carry one file per expert and scheme; the -2 suffix is the transformer_2 expert. A partial pair never loads (all-or-none).
• LTX-2 is a joint audio-video transformer; the checkpoints cover the full module. Prequant load 21s (int8) / 25s (fp8) vs 34-50s dense+quantize and 82-92s bf16 load; ~37 GB resident vs 55 GB bf16.
• Validated against same-seed dense bf16 clips (LPIPS-vgg, PSNR, non-finite and black-frame checks) on torch 2.10 and torchao 0.17.

Pre-cast fp8 text encoder (this repo)

LTX-2-text_encoder-FP8.pt (13.2 GB) is the pipeline's text encoder (Gemma3ForConditionalGeneration, the text_encoder subfolder of Lightricks/LTX-2) with the layerwise fp8 storage cast Unsloth Studio applies at load time, saved pre-cast:

• Loading it is bit-identical to downloading the dense encoder and casting on load (verified tensor for tensor: 1066 tensors, 660 cast to fp8 storage).
• Cuts the text-encoder download from 48.7 (fp32 hub store) GB to 13.2 GB.
• Plain-tensor state dict: loads with torch.load(weights_only=True). Metadata records scheme fp8, component text_encoder, base Lightricks/LTX-2.
