LTX-2 is currently the #1 ranked open-source audio & video model on Hugging Face — with over 4.5 million downloads in just two months. But what makes it different? It runs locally. It can be fine-tuned on your own IP. It integrates into real video workflows. And it might change how filmmaking, education, and creative work evolve in the AI era. We talk about: • Why open models are catching up to Big Tech • How smaller models are getting better through distillation • Running AI video on consumer GPUs • Infinite, autoregressive video generation • AI teachers that change environments in real time • Whether AI will replace filmmakers — or empower them If you care about the future of creativity, open AI, or the economics of filmmaking… this one is worth your time.
