A significant milestone for native AI video creation, LTX-2 delivers outcomes that stand toe-to-toe with main cloud-based fashions whereas producing as much as 20 seconds of 4K video with spectacular visible constancy. The mannequin options built-in audio, multi-keyframe help and superior conditioning capabilities enhanced with controllability low-rank diversifications — giving creators cinematic-level high quality and management with out counting on cloud dependencies.

Underneath the hood, the pipeline is powered by ComfyUI. Over the previous few months, NVIDIA has labored carefully with ComfyUI to optimize efficiency by 40% on NVIDIA GPUs, and the most recent replace provides help for the NVFP4 and NVFP8 information codecs. All mixed, efficiency is 3x quicker and VRAM is diminished by 60% with RTX 50 Collection’ NVFP4 format, and efficiency is 2x quicker and VRAM is diminished by 40% with NVFP8.

NVFP4 and NVFP8 checkpoints are actually out there for among the high fashions immediately in ComfyUI. These fashions embrace LTX-2 from Lightricks, FLUX.1 and FLUX.2 from Black Forest Labs, and Qwen-Picture and Z-Picture from Alibaba. Obtain them immediately in ComfyUI, with further mannequin help coming quickly.

As soon as a video clip is generated, movies are upscaled to 4K in simply seconds utilizing the brand new RTX Video node in ComfyUI. This upscaler works in actual time, sharpens edges and cleans up compression artifacts for a transparent last picture. RTX Video shall be out there in ComfyUI subsequent month.

To assist customers push past the bounds of GPU reminiscence, NVIDIA has collaborated with ComfyUI to enhance its reminiscence offload function, often called weight streaming. With weight streaming enabled, ComfyUI can use system RAM when it runs out of VRAM, enabling bigger fashions and extra complicated multistage node graphs on mid-range RTX GPUs.

The video era workflow shall be out there for obtain subsequent month, with the newly launched open weights of the LTX-2 Video Mannequin and ComfyUI RTX updates out there now.

A New Solution to Search PC Information and Movies

File looking on PCs has been the identical for many years. It nonetheless largely depends on file names and spotty metadata, which makes monitoring down that one doc from final 12 months method more durable than it ought to be.

Hyperlink — Nexa.ai’s native search agent — turns RTX PCs right into a searchable data base that may reply questions in pure language with inline citations. It may well scan and index paperwork, slides, PDFs and pictures, so searches could be pushed by concepts and content material as an alternative of file title guesswork. All information is processed domestically and stays on the person’s PC for privateness and safety. Plus, it’s RTX-accelerated, taking 30 seconds per gigabyte to index textual content and picture recordsdata and three seconds for a response on a RTX 5090 GPU, in contrast with an hour per gigabyte to index recordsdata and 90 seconds for a response on CPUs.

At CES, Nexa.ai is unveiling a brand new beta model of Hyperlink that provides help for video content material, enabling customers to go looking via their movies for objects, actions and speech. That is preferrred for customers starting from video artists on the lookout for B-roll to players who need to discover that point they received a battle royale match to share with their buddies.

For these keen on attempting the Hyperlink non-public beta, join entry on this webpage. Entry will roll out beginning this month.
