Fast vs Pro (API)
| ltx-2.5-fast | ltx-2.5-pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Distilled / speed path | Higher quality path |
| T2V / I2V resolutions (docs) | 720p, 1080p, 2K, 4K | 720p, 1080p |
| Vendor artifact rate (text-to-video, self-reported) | 0.39 glitches/clip | 0.28 glitches/clip |
| On-prem speed claim (product) | Shared LTX 2.5 stack: 10s @720p in 6.8s on 2x GB200 (faster than real-time) | Same foundation; Pro is the quality tier on API |
Duration (API docs): Fast up to 20s at 720p/1080p @24/25 fps; 10s at 48/50 fps and at 1440p/4K. Pro: 6 / 8 / 10s only. Auto duration (duration: null) bills for the length produced.

Product FAQ API numbers ($0.15/1080p, $0.37/4K) disagree with live docs. Prefer docs.ltx.video/pricing below.
API pricing (live docs; per second of output)
Text-to-video and image-to-video (same rates):
| Model | 720p | 1080p | 2K | 4K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ltx-2.5-fast | $0.09 | $0.13 | $0.19 | $0.30 |
| ltx-2.5-pro | $0.12 | $0.17 | n/a | n/a |
| ltx-2.3-fast (peer) | $0.03 | $0.06 | $0.12 | $0.24 |
| ltx-2.3-pro (peer) | $0.04 | $0.08 | $0.16 | $0.32 |
Audio-to-video (1080p only on 2.5): Fast $0.13/s, Pro $0.17/s (billed on input audio duration). Auto-duration charges for the length the model actually produces. LTX-2 (ltx-2-fast / ltx-2-pro) is deprecated; removed after Aug 15, 2026.

What's New vs LTX-2.3
- Native multi-shot in one pass (character / env / lighting / voice continuity across cuts).
- New diffusion video decoder + dynamic compute by scene complexity.
- Gemma 4 12B text encoder + prompt enhancer; optional duration predictor.
- Stronger distilled checkpoint (API Fast path) with fewer retries claimed.
- Native 4K HDR / RAW workflow pitch on the product page (self-host / finishing story; check which path your API job actually returns).
Open weights
HF pack is component-split (transformer, TE, VAEs, duration head, upscalers). Distilled DiT uses a fixed 8-step schedule (CFG=1). Dev transformer is the fine-tune base. Most 2.3 LoRAs / IC-LoRAs run on 2.5 per vendor testing (validate before production). Runtimes: ltx-pipelines, ComfyUI, Diffusers (main).
When to Use It
Good fit: Self-host / fine-tune video+audio stacks under the Community license; API Fast for cheap iteration up to 4K; API Pro when artifact rate matters more than resolution headroom.
Cost note: 2.5 Fast/Pro list above 2.3 at the same resolution. You are paying for the new foundation quality, not a price cut.
Not automatic: Retake / extend / HDR upscale / reframe endpoints on the pricing page still list ltx-2.3-pro only at fetch time. Confirm 2.5 coverage before promising those workflows.
Caveats
- Prefer pricing docs over the product FAQ when they conflict.
- Artifact / latency leaderboards on ltx.io are vendor-measured; not LLM Stats verified.
- License is Community, not Apache: ARR is entity-wide (subsidiaries/affiliates); fine-tune transfer may need a paid license.
