This model serves to transform normalized MiniMax-H3 video latents into normalized LTX-2.5 latents.<\/p>\n<p>This model does not possess the ability to generate videos on its own, and it does not include the MiniMax-H3 or LTX model weights themselves. It is primarily intended for use in <code>Sol-H3-Spark<\/code> within the <code>Sana<\/code> repository as a component to connect different models.<\/p>\n<h2>Specifications<\/h2>\n<p>The technical specifications of this model are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Architecture<\/strong>: 194,759,504-parameter Conv3D residual adapter (width 752, 22 blocks)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Conversion Process<\/strong>: Applies publicly available temporal\/spatial packing transforms<\/li>\n<li><strong>Input Specification<\/strong>: Normalized H3 latent <code>[B, 24, T_h3, H\/16, W\/16]<\/code><\/li>\n<li><strong>Output Specification<\/strong>: Normalized LTX latent <code>[B, 128, T_ltx, H\/32, W\/32]<\/code><\/li>\n<li><strong>Data Type<\/strong>: BF16<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distribution Format<\/strong>: safetensors<\/li>\n<li><strong>Configuration File<\/strong>: <code>config.json<\/code> (defines architecture, geometry, and normalization contracts)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weights SHA-256<\/strong>: <code>170199a390c40ac97f5895bc9c8cc29817e74fb9193c858a85d8c0f1f30724ac<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During inference, it is necessary to pass the original pixel-frame count and pixel geometry to the adapter&#8217;s <code>convert<\/code> method. Based on this, the <code>Sana<\/code> inference library performs the appropriate packing and normalization. Note that modifying this conversion process (transform) is not compatible with this checkpoint.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the license, no new weight license is assigned by this adapter. The MiniMax-H3 and LTX components used alongside the adapter are reported to continue following their respective terms of use.<\/p>\n<h2>Strengths and Use Cases<\/h2>\n<p>This model is an adapter specialized in converting MiniMax-H3 video latents into LTX-2.5 Conv VideoVAE latents. It does not have the ability to generate videos by itself, nor does it contain the MiniMax-H3 or LTX model weights. Therefore, it functions as a &#8220;bridge&#8221; to connect video generation models with different architectures.<\/p>\n<p>As a specific intended use case, its utilization in <code>Sol-H3-Spark<\/code> within the <code>Sana<\/code> repository is mentioned. By performing conversions with appropriate packing and normalization from the MiniMax-H3 latent space to the latent space handled by LTX-2.5, it enables video generation workflows combining these two models. The tags specify <code>minimax-h3<\/code>, <code>ltx-2.5<\/code>, <code>latent-adapter<\/code>, and <code>video<\/code>, indicating that it is a tool aimed at latent conversion in video generation.<\/p>\n<p><!-- lmw:hardware --><\/p>\n<h2>Hardware Requirements<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Estimated requirements (calculated by Local Model Watch)<\/strong> \u2014 195M parameters<\/p>\n<div class=\"lmw-table-scroll\" tabindex=\"0\" style=\"overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch;max-width:100%;\">\n<table style=\"width:max-content;min-width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Your VRAM<\/th>\n<th>Quantization<\/th>\n<th>File size<\/th>\n<th>Est. memory needed<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>4GB (laptop iGPU \/ phone class)<\/td>\n<td>BF16<\/td>\n<td>0.4GB<\/td>\n<td>0.4GB<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>Memory estimates add a 20% runtime overhead (KV cache, etc.) to the actual size of the distributed files.
