# The Open-Source Bet on AI Video Nobody's Talking About

**[Inside My Head](https://daily.dev/sources/linusekenstam)** · 6 min read · 19 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Lightricks released LTX-2, a fully open-source AI video model (Apache 2.0) with 14B video and 5B audio parameters that co-evolve during generation, enabling native 4K output at up to 50fps on consumer GPUs like an RTX 3060. Unlike Sora, Veo, and Runway, Lightricks published full model weights, training code, inference code, and LoRA trainer. LTX-2.3 also ships with a free local desktop app. While ranked #36 on quality leaderboards, it costs $3.60/min vs Sora's $30/min, uses licensed Getty/Shutterstock training data for enterprise compliance, and has 5M downloads in under 3 months. The strategic play mirrors Linux: build an open ecosystem with developer community momentum, fine-tuning capabilities, and a platform (LTX Studio) that integrates multiple models, betting that openness and ecosystem growth outpace closed competitors long-term.
