# LTX-2.3 Turbo (ZeroGPU)

Generate synchronized **video + audio** from text or images using
[Lightricks/LTX-2.3](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.3) — a **22B
parameter** DiT-based audio-video foundation model — running entirely on
**free ZeroGPU** hardware. No paid GPU required.

**~10 seconds** to generate a 2-second video with audio at 768x512.

## Features

- **Text to Video** — describe a scene and get video with synchronized audio
- **Image to Video** — provide a first frame and animate it with audio
- **Interpolate Mode** — provide first and last frames, generate video between them
- **Audio Input** — provide custom audio for lip-sync or soundtrack conditioning
- **Prompt enhancement** — Gemma-3 12B rewrites your prompt for better results
- **Multiple resolutions** — 16:9, 1:1, and 9:16 aspect ratios
- **Duration presets** — 2s, 3s, and 5s video clips
- **Reproducible** — set a seed for consistent outputs

## How it works

This Space uses a **vendored packages + pre-loaded models** strategy to fit
the massive 22B model on ZeroGPU's A10G (40GB VRAM):

1. **Startup**: Downloads model files, constructs `ModelLedger`, loads the
   Gemma-3 12B text encoder, and pre-loads the FP8-quantized transformer +
   video encoder into the pipeline cache.
2. **Text Encoding** (`@spaces.GPU`): Encodes the prompt into video/audio
   context tensors using the pre-loaded text encoder, returned to CPU.
3. **Video Generation** (`@spaces.GPU`): Runs the two-stage distilled
   denoising pipeline (8 steps low-res + 4 steps high-res with 2x spatial
   upscaling) using pre-encoded contexts, then decodes video and audio.

### Key optimizations

| Optimization | Details |
|---|---|
| **FP8 quantization** | Transformer weights cast to `float8_e4m3fn`, halving VRAM usage |
| **Distilled pipeline** | Only 8+4 denoising steps (vs 30+ for full model) |
| **Pre-loaded models** | Text encoder, transformer, video encoder loaded once at startup |
| **Two-stage upscaling** | Generates at half resolution, then upscales 2x with spatial upsampler |
| **Vendored packages** | `ltx-core` and `ltx-pipelines` bundled for fast builds |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Range | Default | Notes |
|-----------|-------|---------|-------|
| Mode | Text to Video / Image to Video | Text to Video | |
| Prompt | Free text | — | Describe scene, motion, and audio |
| Resolution | 768x512, 512x512, 512x768 | 768x512 | Upscaled 2x by spatial upscaler |
| Duration | 1-5 seconds | 2s | Shorter = more reliable on ZeroGPU |
| Enhance prompt | On/Off | On | Gemma-3 rewrites prompt for better results |
| Seed | 0-2B | Random | For reproducibility |

## Limitations

- **ZeroGPU time limits**: Longer videos may exceed the GPU lease duration.
  Keep duration at 3 seconds or less for best reliability.
- **VRAM constraints**: Even with FP8 quantization, very high resolutions
  are not possible. The preset resolutions are tuned for ZeroGPU.
- **No camera LoRAs**: Camera LoRAs are only available for the 19B model,
  not the 22B 2.3 model.

## Duplicating this Space

This Space uses [google/gemma-3-12b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-12b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized)
as the text encoder. Before duplicating, you must:

1. Accept the [Gemma license](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-3-12b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized) on your HuggingFace account
2. Create a **read-access** HuggingFace token and add it as a Space secret named `HF_TOKEN`
