This is a GGUF quantized version of LTX-2.5 by Lightricks, the 22B audio-video DiT, both the distilled (8 + 3 steps, CFG 1) and the dev (full, 30 steps, CFG 3) checkpoint.
unsloth/LTX-2.5-GGUF uses Unsloth Dynamic 2.0 methodology: the UD- files are mixed precision, with every layer's type chosen from a measured sensitivity scan, and they beat the uniform files at the same size.

Loads in Unsloth Studio and in ComfyUI through ComfyUI-GGUF (Unet Loader (GGUF)), both tested on every file here.
Same layout as unsloth/LTX-2.3-GGUF: dev files at the root, distilled files in distilled/. The text encoder, VAEs and latent upscaler are unchanged; take them from Lightricks/LTX-2.5.

Recommended: UD-Q4_K_XL (14.0 GB) for most GPUs: clearly better than Q4_K_M and on par with Q5_K_M, which is 1.6 GB larger. For output closest to bf16 use Q8_0; on small cards use UD-Q2_K_XL (9.5 GB), which is far cleaner than Q2_K and close to Q3_K_M at 1.8 GB less.

Samples

distilled/ltx-2.5-22b-distilled-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf, 1280x704, 121 frames, 24 fps, seed 42, with audio: text to video, image to video.

Frame 60 of the same text-to-video render from each file:

And of the image to video render:

Files and accuracy

LPIPS (lower is better) and PSNR against the bf16 DiT, same prompt, seed, text encoder and settings, mean over every one of the 121 frames. Distilled: 1280x704, 121 frames, 8 + 3 two-stage steps, CFG 1, text to video and image to video, 4 seeds (8 clips). Dev: 1280x704, 121 frames, 30 steps, CFG 3, text to video and image to video, 2 seeds (4 clips). Both run deterministically, so a repeated bf16 render scores 0 and the numbers measure only the quantization. The samplers re-inject noise every step, so small weight errors move the motion more than the look of a frame: every file keeps the subject, scene and prompt.

For scale: the hosted unsloth/LTX-2.5-FP8 INT8-ConvRot and FP8 DiTs score 0.265 and 0.366 on the same clips in Studio's default (compiled) mode, where compiled versus uncompiled bf16 alone already differs by 0.265.

Run in Unsloth Studio

Pick LTX-2.5 on the Video page and choose one of these GGUF files. Studio loads the DiT from the GGUF and the text encoder, VAEs, connectors and upsampler from Lightricks/LTX-2.5-Diffusers, and runs the distilled files with the two-stage 8 + 3 step recipe and the dev files at 30 steps, CFG 3.

Run in ComfyUI

Use an up to date ComfyUI (with LTX-2.5 support) and the ComfyUI-GGUF custom node.

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/city96/ComfyUI-GGUF.git

LTX-2.5 is an open world model with open weights, built for local execution and fine-tuning. Its established use is generating synchronized, high-fidelity video and audio from text, image, and video inputs; applicability to emerging domains such as robotics and physical AI is developing.

Full control and customization — self-host on your own infrastructure. No per-generation billing, no per-seat lock-in, no forced API dependency. Revenue is measured across the whole entity, including subsidiaries and affiliates under common control. The full, binding terms live in LICENSE.

What's new in LTX-2.5

Native multishot generation — generate connected scenes in a single pass: multiple shots that hold character identity, environment, lighting, voice, and visual style across cuts (previous versions produced a single continuous shot).
Diffusion fidelity rendering — Instead of locking every scene to one compression rate, our model dynamically allocates compute by scene complexity and budget, rendering flawless detail where it matters, efficient everywhere else.
New diffusion video decoder — replaces the VAE reconstruction stage; sharper faces, textures, and on-screen text, better motion, and fewer artifacts in demanding scenes.
Custom Gemma 4 12B text encoder — holds complex prompts together (multiple characters, camera moves, lighting, actions) instead of dropping details across a longer sequence.
Prompt enhancer — expands a short prompt into richer cinematic instructions at minimal extra compute.
Duration predictor (optional) — an opt-in node predicts a clip's length from the prompt and sets the frame count for you, instead of relying on a fixed-duration parameter.
Substantially improved distilled model — retains much more of the full model's visual quality, prompt adherence, and motion consistency in a smaller, faster checkpoint.

Usage

Online demo

Try LTX-2.5 in the API Playground without installing anything locally.

Option A — Python (`ltx-pipelines`)

Weights on this repo are split (Comfy-aligned): one safetensors file per component. The LTX-2 ltx-pipelines package loads them via --transformer-path, --text-encoder-path, etc.

Install

git clone https://github.com/Lightricks/LTX-2.git
cd LTX-2
uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

Python >= 3.12, CUDA >= 12.7, PyTorch ~= 2.7 recommended. See the repo README for attention backends and optional extras.

Prompting

Well-structured, detailed prompts materially improve results. For multishot prompting and a full guide, see How to prompt LTX-2.

Training & fine-tuning

The dev transformer is fully trainable. Reproduce published LoRAs and IC-LoRAs with the LTX-2 Trainer.

Based on our testing, the large majority of LoRAs and IC-LoRAs trained on LTX-2.3 run on LTX-2.5 without changes. A small number of exceptions exist — validate your adapters before production use.

Limitations

This model is not intended or able to provide factual information.
As a statistical model, this checkpoint may amplify existing societal biases.
Prompt following is heavily influenced by prompting style.
The model may fail to generate videos that match the prompt perfectly.
The model may generate content that is inappropriate or offensive.
