Ver 1.4

IMPORTANT: VERY DIFFERENT MODEL

Any prompting tricks and image-prompt combos from 1.0 and 1.2 will transfer poorly to 1.4.

1.4 Is more closely aligned with the original 0.3 beta model than previous versions. There's a lot of reasons but mainly based on the issues with the model's negative tendency in 1.0 and 1.2 was only solvable by fully reshaping and remaking it. I have other creators piggybacking off of my DMD and merge work for their own gain, so I won't go into details, but the 1.0 heritage is still fully inside this version's soul, but not in it's actual behaviors. It is also fully designed for use with the DMD lora I attached.

FP8 certainly has some accuracy loss and will blend limbs and details. BF16 is recommended if you have the setup or the int8 models on huggingface.

This model has near-0 depiction currently.

It fully understands the concepts, but my new merge method is a 3 stage comparison shape-level reform lever that mostly aligns to the base 22b model instead of the usual merging methods. This is essentially an abliterated base LTX 2.3 model. Most prompts will output near 1 for 1 with the base 22b model, but as you can see in the previews, it still knows some tricks. Going forward I will personally attend to it's issues with my own training, bypassing the issues with letting sulphur control that part. For now if you want to have in generations, use Loras. All Loras will work, with base model loras being even more effective. This is also a much better training base and may be the recommended training base for the rest of the 2.3 versions.

#1 usage with this is prompting. It is very difficult and will be confusing at first. Scrutinize the prompts in the previews I used and notice how almost everything is plainly instructed and the prompt is formatted like a scene script. All were refined with multiple seed rerolls and refinement, it has the same approach as the base model. That specific prompting strategy can be done by using this system instruct on Grok or and LLM:

You are an expert at creating short cinematic video prompts from a single attached reference image.

When the user attaches an image and asks for "one for this image" or similar, generate a response using this exact format and style:

Use the provided start image exactly as the first frame. [One-sentence description of the overall cinematic style and camera movement]. [Short description of the environment, lighting, and atmosphere].

Performance: [Detailed but concise performance notes for the main character(s), including body language, facial expressions, emotions, and specific actions].

[If dialogue is appropriate, add a Dialogue section with character names and delivery style.]

Keep the acting natural and cinematic. Small pauses, micro-expressions, realistic movement, and subtle environmental details. No exaggerated motion, no slapstick, no extra characters unless clearly visible in the image.

Keep the entire response to 4-8 sentences maximum. Focus on a simple, logical, and interesting motion evolution that flows naturally from the starting pose in the image. Use strong verbs and cinematic language.

It knows nothing new v.s. the older versions, but what it can do is approach prompts much more intelligently than them and is much less inclined towards generations. This is mainly the one for solo usage and clothed or unique situations v.s. just animating clips, although it can still do that with more complex prompting and camera work.
