LTX-2.3
A major version update to LTX-2, with improvements in image quality, audio quality, and prompt adherence; the distilled version runs 8 steps at CFG=1 and is one of the most realistic 22B video options on 16GB GPUs.
Base
Highlights
- Distilled version ltx-2.3-22b-distilled: 8 steps, CFG=1, fast output
- Official fp8 and nvfp4 weights provided, specifically for small VRAM
- Supports image-to-video, text-to-video, first/last frame, and image+audio-to-video (IA2V)
- Official recommendation is to use the built-in LTXVideo nodes in ComfyUI Manager
Scope
- Good for: small VRAM users wanting 22B-class video
- Good for: image-to-video + first/last-frame transitions
- Not for: projects requiring long-duration coherent narrative
Tips
- CFG fixed at 1; increasing it has no effect
- Use the official upscaler for 2× resolution; it saves VRAM compared with directly raising generation resolution
- Write audio prompts as a separate paragraph
Cautions
- Community license; multi-stage workflows double VRAM requirements
Parameters
- Distilled version
- 8 steps, CFG 1
- Full version
- Multi-step, trainable
- Resolution
- Mainly 720p class, with spatial upscaler for multi-stage
- VAE/upscaling
- Official x1.5 / x2 spatial upscalers
Deployment
- 16GB conclusion
- Runs with fp8 or nvfp4 distilled weights; 8 steps is the key to making it viable on small cards.
- VRAM note
- If weights are still in the 20GB class, offload is still required; keeping duration to 3–5 seconds is most stable.
- Suggested starting point
- fp8 distilled + 8 steps, first output 720p/3 seconds.
Comparison
Predecessor to 2.5, with 850k downloads and still growing. Its value is that the combination of “distilled 8 steps + fp8/nvfp4” has been thoroughly run by the community, with lower trial-and-error cost than 2.5; new projects can use 2.5 directly.
