lightx2v

*From Official Models to Lightx2v Distilled Optimized Versions - Balancing Quality, Speed and Memory* For VAE, the LightX2V team has conducted a series of deep optimizations, deriving two major series: **LightVAE** and **LightTAE**, which significantly reduce memory consumption and improve inference speed while maintaining high quality. ✅ Best reconstruction accuracy ✅ Complete detail preservation ❌ Large memory usage (~8-12 GB) ❌ Slow inference speed

> **An extremely efficient Wan 2.2 14B variant: NVFP4 Quantization-Aware Step Distillation with Sparse Attention for Blackwell Architecture** Follow the LightX2V environment setup and NVFP4 kernel installation. Use a Blackwell GPU with the required sparse-attention dependencies. In each launch script, set `lightx2v_path`, `model_path`, `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`, and the input/output paths. Keep `model_path` pointed at the complete corresponding Wan2.2 base model directory.

A **4-step distilled LoRA for Qwen-Image-2.1**, supporting text-to-image generation and image editing. Training was performed entirely on **16 Huawei Ascend 910B NPUs**, using DMD in LightX2V. For inference on heterogeneous hardware platforms, refer to the LightX2V platform scripts. Both examples use the training noise schedule: four steps with dynamic exponential shifting and no terminal stretching. Training and LightX2V inference keep latents in FP32; these BF16 Diffusers examples can produce different numerical results.

*Distillation-accelerated versions of Wan2.1 - Dramatically faster while maintaining exceptional quality* **LightX2V is a high-performance inference framework optimized for these models, approximately 2x faster than ComfyUI with better quantization accuracy. Highly recommended!** Set `dit_quantized_ckpt` to the local `wan2.1_i2v_720p_scaled_fp8_e4m3_lightx2v_4step.safetensors` file and set `size` to `[720, 1280]`. Choose an attention backend supported by your GPU and installed environment, and enable CPU offload if needed.

Cost analysis

Adjust monthly token usage to compare estimated API costs.

Uses collected, comparable USD-per-million-token rates. Snapshots exclude cache discounts, tiers, extra reasoning output and taxes. Check current source prices.

MODEL HANDBOOK

Understand before you choose

Selection guide & FAQ
How should API prices be compared?+

Separate input, output and cache rates, then estimate the same workload. Image, audio and video rates may use items, duration or resolution rather than tokens.

Do open weights mean free commercial use?+

Not necessarily. Check each version’s license, commercial restrictions and policies. Self-hosting also incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Is the top-ranked model the best for me?+

Rankings depend on tasks, versions and methods. Compare accuracy, latency, reliability and costs on your own workload.
