LX Can I run LTX-Video 2B on Apple M4 (24GB)?
Yes. LTX-Video 2B runs on Apple M4 (24GB) at fp8 + offload (~10 GB of ~16 GB usable).
Runs at fp8 + offload using ~10 GB of ~16 GB usable.

How to run it
Use ComfyUI or Diffusers at fp8 + offload. The big text encoder is loaded to encode your prompt, then offloaded before generation, which is why peak VRAM stays near the backbone size rather than the sum of every file.

FAQ
Can Apple M4 (24GB) run LTX-Video 2B?
Yes. LTX-Video 2B runs on Apple M4 (24GB) at fp8 + offload (~10 GB of ~16 GB usable).
How much VRAM does LTX-Video 2B need?
Apple M4 (24GB) has room to spare. At fp8 + offload the realistic peak is ~10 GB of VRAM, versus ~12 GB with every component kept resident (no offload). With aggressive CPU offload it drops to ~6 GB, much slower.
What do I use to run LTX-Video 2B locally?
LTX-Video 2B runs in ComfyUI or Diffusers. It loads as a video diffusion checkpoint plus its text encoder and VAE, not a single chat command.
