Video Generation
| Family | txt2vid | img2vid | audio2vid | keyframe | retake | IC-LoRA | audio track |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LTX Video | Yes | Not yet | No | No | No | No | No |
| LTX-2 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| All others | No | No | No | No | No | No | No |
LTX Video defaults to APNG (lossless, metadata-rich). LTX-2 defaults to MP4 so it can preserve synchronized audio when requested. Both families also support GIF, and feature-gated WebP/MP4 outputs where applicable. Use --format apng|gif|webp|mp4. Frame count must be 8n+1 (9, 17, 25, 33, ...). Dimensions must be multiples of 32.
The recommended LTX default today is ltx-video-0.9.6-distilled:bf16. The 0.9.8 family is available, pulls its spatial upscaler asset, and now runs the full multiscale refinement path.
Backend Support
| Family | CUDA | Metal | CPU |
|---|---|---|---|
| FLUX.1 / FLUX.2 | Yes | Yes | Yes (slow) |
| SDXL / SD 1.5 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SD 3.5 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Z-Image | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Wuerstchen v2 | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Qwen-Image | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Qwen-Image-Edit | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| LTX Video | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| LTX-2 | Yes | Not yet | Correctness-only |
LTX-2 is CUDA-only for real generation
LTX-2 / LTX-2.3 does not support Apple Metal in this release. The native runtime runs on CUDA; the CPU path exists for correctness-oriented coverage and can be extremely slow. On macOS you can still use every other family through the Metal backend — LTX-2 is the only family that is currently CUDA-gated.
Native app surfaces
Both native apps use the family capabilities above and the same generation request contract. Their platform roles differ intentionally:
| Area | Desktop | iPhone |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Built-in local engine plus remote hosts | Remote hosts only |
| Create | Capability-driven image/video controls, review-first prepared expansion batches, estimates | Same exact-N, frozen-host review lifecycle and independent siblings, full-screen Advanced sheet, optimized for touch |
| Library | Unified local/remote grid with persisted top-bar thumbnail sizing, host filters, deduplication, batch provenance, History drawer, and desktop file actions | Merged saved-host library with batch/source provenance, full-screen image/video, swipe navigation, Use as prompt, and Use as source |
| Models | Installed/Discover, kind and explicit 18+ NSFW badges, rich detail, install onto any machine still missing the model (Repair once all have it), download progress | Installed/live union, matching kind/18+ badges and detail, same install-or-repair host picker, pull progress, cancel, load/unload/remove |
| Machines | This device plus remembered/discovered remote hosts, host detail, automatic routing choices | Bonjour, IP/DNS/HTTPS, or Tailscale MagicDNS; explicit generation host and detailed telemetry |
| Queue | Shared multi-host console: live progress, per-job cancel, Pause/Resume, and drag-reorder (queue.can_reorder) | Per-host queue with progress and per-job cancel |
| Settings | Single column: Appearance, Updates, About, a Hosts link into Machines, and collapsed performance/generation/accounts/advanced sections | Mold Studio families (Mold/Safelight), System/Dark/Light, remote-host shortcut, version, and TestFlight update channel |
| Sequences | Output setting inside Create, clip rail with named seams, in-place editing of a finished sequence, Library ▸ History ▸ Sequences, TOML authoring, RunPod provisioning (inside Machines) | Same Output setting and clip list with exact-host durable recovery; no in-place editing, Sequences history tab, TOML editor, or RunPod workspace |
| Updates | Signed Stable/Nightly in-app updater on macOS | Internal TestFlight builds after eligible main CI |

Notes
- ControlNet is currently available only for SD 1.5.
- LoRA-capable families are
flux,flux2,ltx2,sd15,sd3,sdxl,qwen-image,qwen-image-edit, andz-image. Wuerstchen and LTX Video are not wired for LoRA yet. - LTX-2 adds stacked LoRAs plus camera-control presets for the published 19B adapters.
--schedulerapplies only to SD 1.5 and SDXL.- Negative prompts are meaningful for CFG-based families and ignored by FLUX, Z-Image, and Flux.2 Klein.
qwen-image-editis a distinct edit family, not a standard img2img mode.- The CLI and API support multiple ordered input images for
qwen-image-edit; the TUI keeps the edit flow to a single source image in v1. qwen-image-editcan use quantized--qwen2-variantlanguage weights while still loading the Qwen2.5-VL vision tower for image conditioning.- LTX-2 now wires
x2spatial upscaling across the family,x1.5spatial upscaling forltx-2.3-*, andx2temporal upscaling in the native runtime. - LTX-2's native CUDA path is validated across text+audio-video, image-to-video, audio-to-video, keyframe, retake, public IC-LoRA, spatial upscale, and temporal upscale workflows.
- LTX-2's multimodal guider exposes optional per-request overrides for STG scale/blocks, CFG-rescale, cross-modality scale, and the guidance skip stride on the CLI and in web, desktop, and iPhone Advanced video controls. They apply to the
two-stage,two-stage-hq,keyframe, anda2vidpipelines; unset fields keep each pipeline's own constants. The TUI keeps pipeline defaults while its broader advanced-video controls remain a separate tracked gap. - LTX-2 is CUDA-only for real generation: CPU is correctness-only, and Metal is not supported in this release.
