Lightricks, the company behind AI-driven storytelling platform LTX Studio and the portrait editor Facetune, announced the release of its open-source video generation model, called LTX Video (LTXV 0.9). With a capability to generate five seconds of high-quality video in only four seconds, LTXV sets a new standard for real-time AI video creation, the company claims. Developed with direct feedback from LTX Studio users, LTXV provides a new framework for researchers to advance solutions for motion consistency, computational efficiency, and scalability while setting new standards in performance.

“We built Lightricks with a vision to push the boundaries of what’s possible in digital creativity to continue bridging that gap between imagination and creation – ultimately leading to LTXV, which will allow us to develop better products that address the needs of so many industries taking advantage of AI’s power,” said Zeev Farbman, Co-founder and CEO of Lightricks. “With many AI technologies becoming proprietary, we believe it’s time for an open-sourced video model that the global academic and developer community can build on and help shape the future of AI video.”‍

The initial release of Lightricks’ LTXV includes:

  • Unmatched motion and structure consistency: LTXV’s Diffusion Transformer architecture ensures smooth, coherent transitions between frames, eliminating issues like object morphing that have plagued previous generations of video models. Diffusion models are particularly good at creating high-quality samples, which makes them strong tools for things such as synthesizing images.
  • Rapid processing and rendering times: Optimized for both GPU and TPU systems, LTXV reduces video generation times by more than 90%, making it among the fastest model of its kind available for high-quality video output.
  • Scalable long-form video production: Capable of producing extended, high-quality videos with consistency across length, offering creators more flexibility and control.

“LTXV represents a new era of AI-generated video,” said Yaron Inger, CTO of Lightricks. “By designing a robust video encoding model that compresses the video in a very compact way (1:192 of the original video), we’ve achieved unprecedented speed while improving motion consistency and visual continuity. The ability to generate videos faster than playing them opens the possibility for applications beyond content creation, like gaming and interactive experiences for shopping, learning or socializing. We’re excited to see how researchers and developers will build upon this foundational model.”
