LTX-Video / LTX-2 and later

Lightricks · snapshot 2026-11-07

open-weights video generation model, with audio generation in later releases

Tier 2 Restricted open-weight

What the publisher claims: open-weights, open source

The one-liner: Open video weights with a revenue threshold and a prohibited-use annex.

The six questions

A AccessScore 3 of 3

Weights are downloadable from the publisher's Hugging Face repositories.

P PermissionScore 1 of 3

A royalty-free grant is undercut by a $10M revenue threshold that forces large commercial users onto a negotiated paid license, plus attached use prohibitions.

D DeploymentScore 3 of 3

Runs locally through the reference repository, Diffusers, and ComfyUI.

T TransparencyScore 1 of 3

Public information covers architecture and a training-data partnership; the corpus and recipe are not published.

R ReproducibilityScore 1 of 3

Limited.

G Governance & ParticipationScore 1 of 3

Lightricks publishes LTX weights and a reference implementation under its own community licence, but there is no outside roadmap or discussion forum and every development decision is the company's.

License

What is actually released

Why it matters

The annex structure is the point: the license grants broad freedoms and then subtracts a long list of uses, which is how 'open weights' releases quietly reintroduce acceptable-use policy.
