LTX-2.5: synchronized video and audio locally, 22B parameters and native multishot

Research
Source:Hugging Face
Lightricks releases LTX-2.5, open weights: video generation with synchronized audio from text, image, or video, with native multishot that holds identity and style across scenes, a new diffusion video decoder replacing the VAE stage, and a Gemma 4 12B text encoder. The weights are built for running and Fine-tuning on your own infrastructure.
