LTX

Open World Models for Video, Audio, and the Physical World

LTX builds open world models: AI that generates, simulates, and shapes video, audio, and the physical world. An LLM predicts the next word; a world model predicts the next moment. LTX serves three markets today. In media and entertainment, studios, VFX houses, and video platforms use LTX for animation, keyframing, and generating video at scale from existing assets. In real-time experiences, LTX powers talking avatars and efficient on-device rendering for interactive engines. In robotics and physical AI, LTX works with partners to train and deploy world action models.

What sets LTX apart across all three is that its models are open, efficient, and adaptable. You have full control over the model: run it locally on consumer-grade hardware with zero cloud dependency and no per-generation billing, fine-tune it on your own IP, and keep your data and output inside your own systems. The output is production-grade, native 4K with synchronized audio and video at up to 50fps, at roughly one-eighth the cost and one-tenth the render time of comparable models. With 33M+ downloads on HuggingFace and a place in the NVIDIA Cosmos Coalition, the same open foundation extends from AI video into world models for simulation, robotics, and gaming. LTX gives you the control to build on your own terms.
