LX Can I run LTX-Video 13B on Apple M3 Pro (18GB)?
Needs ~20 GB at fp8, but only ~12 GB is usable on Apple M3 Pro (18GB). With aggressive CPU offload it can run on as little as ~12 GB, much slower.

FAQ
Can Apple M3 Pro (18GB) run LTX-Video 13B?
Needs ~20 GB at fp8, but only ~12 GB is usable on Apple M3 Pro (18GB). With aggressive CPU offload it can run on as little as ~12 GB, much slower.
How much VRAM does LTX-Video 13B need?
Apple M3 Pro (18GB) does not have enough memory. At fp8 the realistic peak is ~20 GB of VRAM, versus ~38 GB with every component kept resident (no offload). With aggressive CPU offload it drops to ~12 GB, much slower.
What do I use to run LTX-Video 13B locally?
LTX-Video 13B runs in ComfyUI or Diffusers. It loads as a video diffusion checkpoint plus its text encoder and VAE, not a single chat command.
