GGUF quantizations of the echoVid+ltxAud surgical merge — JoyAI-Echo's video branch married to LTX-2.3-distilled-1.1's audio branch, for multishot work where one character has to hold their face and voice across shots.

A GGUF here is DiT-only. It contains the transformer and nothing else, so you still need a full .safetensors checkpoint in checkpoint_path to supply the video VAE, audio VAE, vocoder and text connectors. That is the single most common setup mistake with these files.

Files

• LTX23-echoVid-ltxAud-Surgical-DiT-Q8_0.gguf — 23.1 GB, 0.36° angular deviation.
  The default. Take this unless VRAM forces otherwise — at 0.36° it is effectively indistinguishable from bf16 in output.

• LTX23-echoVid-ltxAud-Surgical-DiT-Q5_0.gguf — 15.5 GB, 2.82° deviation.
  For 16 GB cards. A visible but usually acceptable step down.

• LTX23-echoVid-ltxAud-Surgical-DiT-Q4_0.gguf — 13.0 GB, 7.1% spot error.
  12–16 GB cards. The quality cost is visible; take it only if the others will not fit.

“Deviation” is the angular change in what a layer actually outputs, measured against the unquantized bf16 weights — a more honest figure for a quant than file size alone.

Quick fixes

• Errors about missing VAEs
  Why: a GGUF is DiT-only.
  Fix: put a full bf16 checkpoint in checkpoint_path. The GGUF goes in model_file.

• Robotic voice, the model reading your prompt aloud, or a new face every shot
  Why: almost always missing text_embedding_projection tensors.
  Fix: check the tensor count — print(int.from_bytes(open("f.gguf","rb").read(16)[8:],"little")). For a JoyAI-Echo DiT, 4448 is good and 4444 is missing the projection.

• Lip sync breaks about 9.6 s into every shot
  Why: not the weights — the pack's video RoPE clock was hardcoded to 24 fps while audio runs in true seconds, so a 25 fps render drifts ~4%/s.
  Fix: apply the multishot patch (Bug fix #0).
