PrunaVAED swaps into LTX-2.3 as a faster video decoder without changing latents
fruesome · reddit · 2026-07-29
PrunaVAED is positioned as a faster drop-in replacement decoder for the video VAE used in LTX-2.3.
- It directly replaces the decoder in diffusers/LTX-2.3-Diffusers.
- The encoder and latent format stay unchanged, so it can be swapped in without changing the rest of the pipeline.
- The goal is faster, more memory-efficient video decoding.
- A ComfyUI PR by kijai is also mentioned, which suggests the optimization is already moving into the broader ecosystem.
