LTX-2 license: the $10 million annual revenue threshold

Under the LTX-2 Community License Agreement (license date January 5, 2026), entities with annual revenues of at least $10,000,000 must get a paid commercial use license from Lightricks to use LTX-2 and Derivatives of LTX-2. Below that threshold, section 2 grants a royalty-free license for any purpose, subject to the use restrictions in Attachment A.

Clauses are quoted from the license file, read 2026-10-01. This is a summary, not legal advice.

Who counts as a Commercial Entity?

Section 2 calls entities with annual revenues of at least $10,000,000 "Commercial Entities". Section 1 says an Entity includes, on an aggregate basis, its subsidiaries, affiliates and companies under common Control, and that all of them are considered collectively when testing any threshold. Control means 50% or more of voting interests or the power to direct management. So a small subsidiary of a large group is measured with the group.

How does the threshold work for a group of companies?

Revenue is tested on the aggregated Entity. A studio with $4,000,000 of its own revenue that sits under common Control with a group above $10,000,000 is a Commercial Entity under the section 1 wording. Two unrelated companies each below the line are tested separately. The text says nothing about averaging years, so ask the licensor how it counts the annual period.

How do I request the commercial license?

Section 2 says Commercial Entities interested in a commercial license are required to contact the licensor, and points to the ltx.io/model/licensing page. Terms of that license are not in this file.

Does the threshold apply to hosted video on Sume?

The license governs use of the LTX-2 weights. Sume's video catalog is separate: minimax-h3 is listed at 5-15 seconds, every other catalog model tops out at 15 seconds apart from a few that run to 30, and billing is reserved on submit at provider list x 1.25. See what Sume lists instead of an LTX model id.
