Did Open-Source AI Video Just Catch Up?



AI Summary

Open source video generation has finally caught up with the big closed sourced video models. Lightrix just dropped LTXV13B, a video model that’s powerful enough to run on consumer-grade GPUs, eliminating expensive cloud fees or monthly memberships. The model renders video up to 30 times faster than other leading models and delivers true cinematic quality. It employs multi-scale rendering, starting rough and progressively adding detail, akin to an artist’s creative process. It allows users complete control over video elements, including dolly shots, zooms, facial expressions, and auto sound effects. The model is open source, trained on licensed datasets, and can be used commercially by businesses with under $10 million in revenue for free. This technology is transforming video creation and is available on GitHub, Hugging Face, or the LTX Studio platform.
