It contains the transformer and nothing else, so you still need a full <code>.safetensors</code> checkpoint in <code>checkpoint_path</code> to supply the video VAE, audio VAE, vocoder and text connectors. That is the single most common setup mistake with these files.<h2 id="files">Files</h2><ul><li><code>LTX23-echoVid-ltxAud-Surgical-DiT-Q8_0.gguf</code> — 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.</li><li><code>LTX23-echoVid-ltxAud-Surgical-DiT-Q5_0.gguf</code> — 15.5 GB, 2.82° deviation. For 16 GB cards. A visible but usually acceptable step down.</li><li><code>LTX23-echoVid-ltxAud-Surgical-DiT-Q4_0.gguf</code> — 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.</li></ul>“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.<h2 id="quick-fixes">Quick fixes</h2><ul><li>Errors about missing VAEs Why: a GGUF is DiT-only. Fix: put a full bf16 checkpoint in <code>checkpoint_path</code>. The GGUF goes in <code>model_file</code>.</li><li>Robotic voice, the model reading your prompt aloud, or a new face every shot Why: almost always missing <code>text_embedding_projection</code> tensors. Fix: check the tensor count — <code>print(int.from_bytes(open("f.gguf","rb").read(16)[8:],"little"))</code>. For a JoyAI-Echo DiT, 4448 is good and 4444 is missing the projection.</li><li>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.
