LTX-2.5: VRAM and file sizes
What Lightricks asks for to run the LTX-2.5 AI video model locally: 32 GB of VRAM, 32 GB of RAM and 100 GB of disk, and why. Every checkpoint's size from the Hugging Face repository, and which set fits which GPU.

LTX-2 v1.5.0
Lightricks released v1.5.0 of the LTX-2 code that runs the open LTX-2.5 AI video model on 18 October 2026: image conditioning now says whether a frame is replaced or only guides, keyframe interpolation moved into the main two-stage pipeline, and fp8 matrix maths speeds up GPUs of compute capability 8.9 and newer. Outputs are no longer bit-identical to earlier releases.

Runway MCP: sound and voice
Runway's MCP server, which lets an AI agent drive Runway's tools, gained sound in mid-October 2026: Mirelo SFX 2.0 writes a separate effects track for an AI video clip from a description, and Fish Audio Drama 3 turns a script into a voiceover in seven voices. BiRefNet v2 background removal arrived the same week. All three need a paid plan.
