Build the future of video

LTX-2 open call for supporting research & collaboration

We believe that everyone should have access to powerful technology.

By open-sourcing LTX-2, we invite researchers and builders to advance generative video together and support impactful work through two complementary collaboration tracks.

When technology is open, collaboration becomes possible - and excellence follows.
