Mechanical conversion of every relative import under v2/ to an absolute v2.* path
(from .x / ..x / ...x -> from v2.<pkg>.x) so imports are unambiguous, grep-able, and
stable when code is copied/moved between entrypoints (VideoGenerator, CLI, server).
Surgical prefix-only rewrite: only the 'from <dots><module>' prefix changed — import
names, parentheses, multi-line formatting, comments, and ordering are byte-for-byte
preserved (no collapsing, no reorder, no unrelated reformatting).
- 471 imports across 125 files; v2/tests/ was already absolute (untouched).
- Validated: all 125 files compile, every 'from v2.* import' target resolves to a real
module/package, zero relative imports remain (full sweep), CPU mini suite green
(202 passed, 2 skipped).
Makes LTX-2.3 a first-class, faithful card (was wrongly merged into the single-stage base):
- LTX23DenoiseLoop (loop.py): single-pass joint A/V denoise — one DiT forward per step cross-attends
video<->audio via the adapter's (v_vel,a_vel) return; full-res video latent + a [8,T,16] audio latent;
distilled few-step schedule (BASE_SIGMAS). Video-only when no audio requested.
- build_ltx2_3_card (model_id 'ltx2.3-distilled' — the name now correctly names the REAL 2.3): 5
components incl. audio_vae (AudioDecoder) + vocoder (required_for t2vs, optional_for t2v); caps
T2V + T2VS. build_ltx2_3_program: dual-connector text-encode -> joint denoise -> video + audio decode.
- registry.py routes FastVideo/LTX-2.3-Distilled-Diffusers -> this card (split from the base entry).
- Toy support: ToyTextEncoder.encode_av (separate video/audio text), ToyDiT joint A/V (audio now a
keyword-only arg so positional callers like the talker are unaffected), channel-agnostic
ToyAudioVAE (np.resize identity for the existing 2-stage T2VS).
- CPU-verified: toy T2VS -> video+audio (8 steps), T2V -> video-only; CPU suite green (202+2).
GPU audio-VAE/vocoder loaders + the real-T2VS GPU verify are the next step.
Within the bounded Wan+LTX-2 scope:
- Wan2.2-A14B MoE now GENERATES on a single 80GB GPU via CPU offload (TorchWanDiT offload_group):
the two 14B experts live on CPU and only the active one is swapped onto the GPU at the boundary-
timestep transition (a single swap, not per-step). GPU-verified: 60GB peak (vs 79GB OOM), produced
wan22_a14b_lion.mp4 (17x480x832, std 54.7, motion 8.36). Single-expert Wan stays resident.
- LTX-2 base (single-stage) port: build_ltx2_base_card + build_ltx2_base_program reuse the LTX-2
adapters at FULL latent res with a request-driven many-step flow-match (LTX2DenoiseLoop full_res/
request_steps/base_flow_sigmas; distilled base/refine path preserved via False defaults). The SAME
single-stage card serves LTX-2.3-Distilled (also single-stage: no spatial_upsampler) — dispatched by
the new has_spatial_upsampler discriminator in _select_builders. v2_basic_ltx2.py added; VideoGenerator
gains shutdown() for API parity.
- Fixes: from_config 'os' scoping (shadowed module import); LTX-2 upsampler per_channel_statistics
source (the AE's .decoder, not the top-level module).
Verification status: A14B offload, the upsampler, and the arch-dispatch refactor were GPU-verified
earlier this session. LTX-2 base/2.3 are CPU-verified (cards/programs build, dispatch routes, schedule
correct); their GPU smoke tests were pending when the box was rescheduled aarch64->x86 mid-session,
which broke the aarch64 venv (numpy/torch unrunnable on x86) — GPU re-verify blocked on the env.
Official FastVideo/LTX2-Distilled-Diffusers. New torch_ltx2.py adapters (build_torch_* dispatch on
class):
- TorchLTX2DiT: patchify-internal; per-token timestep ones(B,tok,1)*sigma (sigma direct) + per-sample
video_sigma; DiT predicts x0 so the adapter returns velocity=(x_t-x0)/sigma for the v2 flow-match step.
- TorchLTX2VAE: CausalVideoAutoencoder decode (internal per-channel un_normalize).
- TorchGemma: LTX2GemmaTextEncoderModel (Gemma + feature-extractor + connectors) -> last_hidden_state.
- ltx2 loop: real 128-ch latent geometry on cuda (32x spatial / 8x temporal; half-res base, 2x upsample).
e2e two-stage (8+3 steps) -> coherent, high-quality video (surfers at sunset), (3,9,512,768). NOTE:
still uses the v2 program's np.repeat upsampler between stages (the refine regenerates from noise so
output is faithful-quality); real LTX2LatentUpsampler swap-in is a follow-up.
Finish the kernel seam across the board so the platform's KernelTable is the
universal solver-dispatch path, not just wan21.
- Loops: ltx2, wan_causal, adapters, adaptive now resolve the flow-match solver
via model.platform.kernels.get(FLOW_MATCH_STEP) instead of importing the numpy
sampler directly (wan21 already did). On CPU this is bit-identical (the cpu
kernel IS the old function); a GPU/accel backend now overrides every loop.
- RL: the FlowGRPO log-prob recompute in unified_rl / joint_multi_rl /
workflow_rl dispatches FLOW_SDE_STEP through the platform, pinned to the SAME
kernel the rollout used (C2 kernel-pinning — otherwise the PPO ratio biases on
a real GPU where rollout and recompute kernels could differ).
- accel backend: add a kind-generic AccelComponent wrapper and override the vae
component too (text_encoder left unregistered to keep the device->cpu fallback
demonstrated), closing the "only dit is overridden" gap.
- tests: vae override assertion; a second-loop (wan-causal chunk rollout) parity
oracle proving accel == cpu bit-identical beyond wan21. README scope updated.
184 tests pass.
The remaining design_v3 probes (all except 8b speculative decoding). All fit with no new runtime
primitive (148 tests pass).
#6 LTX-2 joint audio+video (§9.11) — LTX-2 declared an audio_vae required_for t2vs but never used
it; now a single 2-stage denoise carries a synchronized audio latent (conditioned on video),
applies per-modality CFG (guidance_per_modality), and decodes via video VAE + audio VAE → video +
audio. Gated on requesting audio, so the T2V path is byte-identical (existing tests untouched).
ToyAudioVAE; build_ltx2_av_program. 5 tests.
#4 Live weight-sync under in-flight serving (§9.14) — WeightSyncController makes the freeze → drain →
transfer → bump version + invalidate → resume lifecycle explicit. Tests: a mid-flight swap corrupts
(the hazard); draining first leaves the in-flight request bit-identical to baseline while a
post-sync request reflects new weights; transformer-only sync, so the frozen text-encoder cache
survives. The RL flywheel's hardest correctness. 3 tests.
#5 Reward-model-as-a-served-card (§9.15) — a reward model is a card (scorer + a score loop emitting
REWARD_BATCH units); ServedRewardScorer drop-in-replaces the numpy scorer so any RL method becomes
RLHF/RLAIF with no method change. ToyRewardModel; models/reward/. 4 tests.
#7 Content-adaptive control flow (§9.12) — CacheDiTDenoiseLoop (isolated WanDenoiseLoop subclass)
reuses the cached velocity when predictions barely change (cache-dit skip) and early-exits on
convergence — variable step count; interleave parity holds across ragged loops. models/adaptive/. 4 tests.
#8a Nested workflows (§9.13) — a workflow stage can invoke another workflow (engine.run routes ids);
requires/validate recurse; cycles caught at registration + a run-time guard (engine._wf_running).
build_t2i_i2v_extend_workflow. 5 tests.
designv4 §9.11–§9.15 + falsifier/layout/closing updates (148 tests, 25 files). Also removed a
pre-existing unused import in ltx2/loop.py.
Directory rename (git mv, history preserved) plus rewrite of all references: absolute imports in
tests, the zero-dep runner, docstrings, comments, and the README. No behavior change.
