According to Yoav HaCohen on Twitter, the release of LTX-2 as an open-source foundation model for joint audiovisual generation marks a major shift in the AI video and audio sector. Previously, closed models dominated with subscription-based access and limited transparency, but LTX-2 now allows users free access to generate synchronized audio and video from text prompts. This innovation reduces reliance on 'black box' proprietary solutions and lowers barriers for developers and businesses seeking to build AI-powered media tools, presenting new market opportunities for startups and enterprises to create advanced, customizable AI video products without costly licensing fees (source: Yoav HaCohen, X.com, Jan 6, 2026).
