About LightX2V

LightX2V handles open image and video models on your own GPU. It covers text-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-image and image editing. You download the model weights yourself and need a suitable GPU. It's built for engineers, not for cutting a drama timeline.

Best for: Engineers and researchers who run or tune open image and video models on their own GPUs.

What it does

  • Runs text-to-video, image-to-video, text-to-image and image editing
  • Adds day-0 support for models like MiniMax-H3, LTX-2 and Qwen-Image
  • Cuts steps with distilled LoRAs (small add-on models) for 4 or 8 steps
  • Shrinks models with FP8, NVFP4 and GGUF quantization
  • Splits work across GPUs with parallelism and block-level offload
  • Runs on NVIDIA, AMD ROCm, Ascend, Intel and other accelerators

Quickstart

Rewritten from the README. Check the repo for the latest steps.

  1. 1
    Install from Git with the command below
    pip install -v git+https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V.git

    Or clone and build: the command below, then cd LightX2V and uv pip install -v .
    git clone https://github.com/ModelTC/LightX2V.git
  3. 3
    Download the model weights from HuggingFace and point the pipeline at the local model path
  4. 4
    Run a generation script, such as the MiniMax-H3 4-step 768p distilled LoRA example
