LTX Video Breaks The 60-Second Barrier, Redefining AI Video As A Longform Medium
The post LTX Video Breaks The 60-Second Barrier, Redefining AI Video As A Longform Medium appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Lightricks, the Israeli AI startup best known for viral mobile apps like Facetune and Videoleap, is pushing deeper into professional production territory with a technical milestone that sets it apart from its peers in generative video. With the release of its new autoregressive video model, LTXV, the company claims it can now generate clips over 60 seconds long, eight times the current standard length for AI video. That includes OpenAI’s Sora, Google’s Veo, and Runway’s Gen-4, none of which yet support real-time rendering at this scale. According to CEO and co-founder Zeev Farbman, this breakthrough “unlocks a new era for generative media,” not just because of length, but because of what extended sequences enable: narrative. “It’s the difference between a visual stunt and a scene,” Farbman told me in a recent interview. “AI video becomes a medium for storytelling, not just a demo.” LTXV’s new architecture streams video in real time, returning the first second almost instantly and building the rest on the fly. The system uses small chunks of overlapping frames to condition what comes next, allowing continuity of motion, character, and action throughout the sequence. It’s the same autoregressive approach that powers large language models like ChatGPT, applied to visual storytelling frame-by-frame. I saw the demo working on a Zoom call last week. Most systems, including top models like Veo 3, Runway 4, and Kling, make you wait minutes for generations. LTX is much faster. The system rendered a continuous 60-second scene of a woman cooking as a gorilla entered the kitchen and hugged her. The video streamed as it was generated, with very few pauses. Another scene showed a car passing under a bridge, then emerging on the other side, then continuing its journey—all without jarring cuts or jumps in logic. Particularly notable is that LTXV is…
