# LTX 2.3 Studio
A single-process Gradio app that wraps [LTX-2.3](https://huggingface.co/Lightricks/LTX-2.3) — Lightricks' open 22B video generation model — under one focused UI. Six modes (text · image · audio · lipsync · keyframe · style) sharing the same ComfyUI All-In-One workflow. Runs locally on Apple Silicon (MPS) or NVIDIA (CUDA), deploys to Hugging Face Spaces (ZeroGPU).

## What's inside
Six modes wired through the same ComfyUI All-In-One workflow. Each mode exposes only the inputs it actually consumes — the form stays short and focused.
| Mode | Inputs | Output | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Text → Video** | Prompt (+ optional audio prompt) | mp4 (+ optional wav) | The core mode. Camera-control LoRAs auto-applied by keyword. |
| **Audio → Video** | Prompt + audio track | mp4 with the input audio preserved | Conditions motion on the audio waveform. |
| **Image → Video** | Image + prompt | mp4 (+ optional audio) | Image-conditioned generation. |
| **Lipsync** | Image + audio | mp4 with audio | Viseme-aligned mouth motion. |
| **Keyframe** | First + last frames + prompt | mp4 | Latent interpolation between two anchors. |
| **Style Transfer** | Source video + style image | mp4 | IC-LoRA restyle; motion preserved from source. |
Every mode carries **Fast / Balanced / Quality** presets (steps × 1, × 1.5, × 3). A per-mode ZeroGPU duration estimator adapts the call timeout to the requested workload.
---
## Quick start (local)
Requires **Python 3.11**, ~80 GB free disk for the weight set, and ~24 GB VRAM (CUDA) or ~32 GB unified memory (Apple Silicon).
```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/techfreakworm/ltx2.3-AIO-generator
cd ltx2.3-AIO-generator
bash setup.sh # creates .venv, installs ComfyUI + pinned custom nodes + app deps
source .venv/bin/activate
python app.py # http://127.0.0.1:7860
```
The first run resolves model weights into your HF cache (`~/.cache/huggingface/hub/`) and symlinks them into `comfyui/models/<comfy_type>/`. Subsequent starts skip the download. Expect ~70 GB of weights pulled on a cold first run.
**Apple Silicon notes.** `PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1` is set automatically so the few MPS-unsupported ops fall back to CPU. ComfyUI's VRAM autodetect picks the right tier; override with `LTX23_AIO_VRAM=lowvram|normalvram|highvram` if you need to force one.
**LAN access** (phone / tablet on the same WiFi): `python app.py` binds `0.0.0.0:7860`. Visit `http://<your-LAN-IP>:7860` from another device. On macOS, allow inbound for `python` in System Settings → Network → Firewall if the connection refuses.
## Quick start (HF Spaces)
This repo is a Gradio Space. The Pro tier provides ZeroGPU (A10G) access and the per-call duration budget needed for the Balanced and Quality presets.
```bash
git remote add space https://huggingface.co/spaces/<your-handle>/LTX2.3-Studio
git push space master:main # local branch is master; HF Space deploys from main
```
> ⚠ The refspec `master:main` matters. The local default branch is `master` (GitHub convention); the HF Space deploys from `main`. A bare `git push space master` creates an orphan remote branch that does NOT trigger a deploy.
The Space's `preload_from_hub` directive (see the YAML at the top of this file) bakes ~111 GB of weights into the build image. `app.py:_bootstrap()` then:
1. Clones ComfyUI + pinned custom nodes into `~/comfyui` on cold start (ZeroGPU container freezes preserve them across calls)
2. Mirrors the read-only preload cache into `~/hf-cache-rw/` — works around the build-user-vs-runtime-user permissions trap (preloaded files are root-owned; we run as uid 1000 and can't write to them, so any lazy download to the cache would fail with `Permission denied`)
3. Stages seed input files into `comfyui/input/` so workflow loaders don't error before any user upload arrives
Subsequent requests hit warm cache — no network traffic on inference 2+.
**ZeroGPU duration estimator.** Each generate call carries a dynamic `@spaces.GPU(duration=N)` calculated from mode, preset, and frame count. Clamped at `[60, 900] s`. On timeout (`"GPU task aborted"`), the handler auto-retries once at 2× duration.

```
**One backend, one process.** The `@spaces.GPU` decorator is the only divergence between local and Spaces runtime. ComfyUI manages VRAM via its tiered presets — no `empty_cache()` sprinkling needed elsewhere.
**Workflow as data.** Each of the six modes is a user-exported API-format JSON in `workflows/`. The mode handler patches a deep-copied template (`modes.parameterize_fn`) and hands it to ComfyUI's `PromptExecutor`. Updating the master workflow is a three-step ritual: edit in the ComfyUI editor → export → `python tools/extract_modes.py --master ... --out workflows`.

## Design
Theme: **Topaz Cinema Slate** — slate substrate `#1A1F26`, warm amber accent `#E0A458` used sparingly, IBM Plex Sans throughout. Defined as `_TOPAZ_THEME` + `_CUSTOM_CSS` in `app.py`.
Layout: hamburger drawer. Pinned 220 px sidebar at ≥1024 px (mode buttons + model status + settings); below 1024 px it slides in as a fixed overlay via the `.aio-shell.drawer-open` class. The header carries a live mode tag (T2V/A2V/I2V/LIPSYNC/KEY/STYLE) updated by JS without a server round-trip.
Spec, plan, and design rationale live under `docs/superpowers/specs/` and `docs/superpowers/plans/`.

## Notes on running
- **First inference is slow.** Cold-start workflow validation + model load on the active node graph takes ~30 – 90 s. Subsequent calls within the same session reuse loaded models.
- **VRAM tier** is auto-detected; override with `LTX23_AIO_VRAM=lowvram|normalvram|highvram`.
- **ZeroGPU duration cap.** The per-call estimator clamps to `[60, 900] s`. If a generation aborts with `"GPU task aborted"`, the handler retries once at 2× duration. The duration field is the queue-priority signal, not a billing cap.
- **Output directory.** Local: `comfyui/output/LTX2.3/`. Spaces: `~/comfyui/output/LTX2.3/`. Both are whitelisted via `allowed_paths=` on launch (Gradio 5 file-access policy).
- **Local LAN testing.** Bound to `0.0.0.0:7860`. macOS firewall: allow inbound for `python` if a connection from your phone refuses.
