\n\tEXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>Tech-driven production company Asteria<\/a> has formed a strategic partnership with video generation model maker LTX<\/a> with the goal of advancing cinematic AI<\/a> storytelling.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe goal of the team-up is to narrow the technical gap between AI video and professional-grade production. LTX will now be the generative engine of Asteria\u2019s AI-driven production, with the result being capable of premium-hybrid outputs.<\/p>\n

\n\tLTX is contributing its open weights model LTX-2.3, allowing Asteria to securely train and fine-tune the model on specific IP.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe partnership came into play with short animated film ChikaBOOM!, which premiered at this month\u2019s Tribeca Festival. Asteria used LTX\u2019s HDR IC-LoRA to integrate hand-drawn 2D, CG, and AI animation together, upscaling generated assets into scene-linear 16-bit HDR.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhen using AI in filmmaking, it\u2019s incredibly important that we don\u2019t lose the things that make our work human,\u201d said Benjamin Michel, Co-founder, Asteria. \u201cLTX gives the building blocks to build our own pipeline, train on our own work, and shape the model alongside other filmmakers doing the same. That kind of openness is what AI in this industry has been missing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAsteria\u2019s co-founders also include Natasha Lyonne and Bryn Mooser. The company launched in 2022.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince LTX-2 launched on computation platform Hugging Face in January 2026, it\u2019s been downloaded more than 10 million times, making it the industry\u2019s most-used open weights AI model, the company says. With Asteria\u2019s involvement, the companies are aiming to amplify the feedback from colorists, visual effects supervisors, directors and other creative stakeholders.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201c<\/strong>There are a lot of people successfully building AI video, but few are building it with filmmakers actually in the room,\u201d Tian Pei, LTX\u2019s director of business development, said in a statement. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing tools that discourage the creative process. Asteria treats AI models as part of that craft and process, not a step bolted on at the end of production. Our partnership is a natural fit as we\u2019re all focused on enhancing filmmaking as an art form.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe partnership will come into play for shorts as well as feature-length productions and episodic content. The companies hope to expand the partnership into co-developed workflows, custom model training, and joint productions with the studios and brands that are already working with them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Tech-driven production company Asteria has formed a strategic partnership with video generation model maker LTX with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":536683,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,289,290,120487,18,19,17,230675,37985,82],"class_list":["post-536682","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-asteria","tag-eire","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-ltx","tag-techline","tag-technology"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116755665269900050","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536682","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536682"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536682\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/536683"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536682"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536682"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536682"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
