In this episode, we sit down with Yaron Inger, co-founder of Lightricks and LTX, to explore the future of open-source AI video.
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.
