LTX.bio▲164Hey HN, after our 13B release we've been working on a faster version of our open-source video model and we're excited to share it. We started with a 13B base model that already had competitive generation speeds (e.g. 55s for a 5s video on an H100 — faster than any other model out there). But we wanted to push it further to allow everyone to quickly iterate over their video generations. So we built a distilled version focused on speed without sacrificing temporal or spatial coherence. With the Distilled model, you can now generate 5-second 720p videos in about 9.5 seconds on an H100, and…

I've been building open-source tools in the video/multimedia space for 10+ years. Finally shipped the commercial product I always wanted to exist — Video Commander, a desktop app that consolidates FFmpeg, ffprobe, MediaInfo, VMAF and more into a single workspace where you can inspect, encode and analyze video. Built with Tauri + Rust backend, React frontend. FFmpeg and VMAF. Not a cool AI/LLM project, just a tool I've been heads-down building over the last six months. Happy to answer any questions!

While building a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, I was frustrated by my vector database consuming 8GB RAM just to search my own PDFs. After incurring $150 in cloud costs, I had an unconventional idea: what if I encoded my documents into video frames? The concept sounded absurd—storing text in video? But modern video codecs have been optimized for compression over decades. So, I converted text into QR codes, then encoded those as video frames, letting H.264/H.265 handle the compression. The results were surprising. 10,000 PDFs compressed down to a 1.4GB video file. Search…

TL;DR: private, in-browser converter that turns pretty much any image file format into standard JPEGs. Everything runs locally. No uploads. This started as a five-minute job and forty hours later... I wanted to convert a HEIC without uploading it anywhere, so I wrestled Emscripten/WebAssembly to run Google's Jpegli inside a Web Worker. Now there's a small UI and it handles a bunch of formats. Just about the only thing it can't decode is JXL - but there's still some JPEG XL magic in there: XYB perceptual color quantization is enabled by default via Jpegli. The upside of all this…

It's our new text-to-image model: a 9.3B single-stream diffusion transformer trained entirely from scratch. We focused heavily on controllability through structured JSON prompts, with strong text rendering, spatial awareness through bounding box guidance, and color palette control. It has the best text rendering of any open-weight model we've tested so far, and the NF4 quantized checkpoint runs on a single 24GB GPU. For more technical details and examples see our blog post: https://ideogram.ai/blog/ideogram-4.0/ We will be happy to answer any questions :)
