+
+───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+  CHAINING / STACKING
+───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+  Stacks with others      not stated
+
+  The author gave no chaining guidance. The rules below are the
+  general LTX-2.3 ones, not anything specific to this LoRA.
+
+  General LTX-2.3 rules that apply here (see REFERENCE.txt):
+
+  • Stacking an acceleration LoRA with a task LoRA is officially
+    sanctioned: the ID-LoRA template chains LoraLoaderModelOnly(ltx_2.3_22b
+    _distilled_1.1_lora_dynamic_fro09_avg_rank_111_bf16, 0.5) into
+    LoraLoaderModelOnly(ltx-2.3-id-lora-talkvid-3k, 1.0) on the dev
+    checkpoint.
+  • The Python CLI exposes `--lora <path> [strength]` as a repeatable flag
+    with default strength 1.0, so multiple adapters at once is a supported
+    configuration, not a hack.
+  • Load the acceleration/distilled LoRA on the dev checkpoint only. The
+    two-stage pipelines require it for the full model but explicitly do not
+    use it for DistilledPipeline, ICLoraPipeline or DubItPipeline, which
+    already run distilled weights.
+  • Do not stack two distillation LoRAs (e.g. the official rank-384 /
+    rank-111 one plus a community DMD LoRA). The DaSiWa DMD LoRA already
+    blends 75-80% of the official distilled delta into its audio-output
+    route and is described by its author as recreating the distilled model
+    on top of stock dev, i.e. a replacement.
+  • IC-LoRAs are not chained like ordinary LoRAs: each carries a
+    reference_downscale_factor in its safetensors metadata and needs a node
+    that reads it (GetICLoRAParameters -> LTXVAddGuide in core, or
+    LTXICLoRALoaderModelOnly + LTXAddVideoICLoRAGuide in ComfyUI-LTXVideo).
+    Without one the factor silently defaults to 1.
+  • Two IC-LoRA reference guides can be driven from a single IC-LoRA: the
+    CrossView Warp author wires both a depth-warp video and the original
+    video into separate reference guides and sets latent_downscale_factor =
+    1 on both.
+  • DubItPipeline accepts exactly one Dub-It IC-LoRA (`--lora` exactly
+    once) and applies it in both stages — that path is single-adapter by
+    design.
+  • Community convention on strengths when stacking: the IC-LoRA Dual-
+    Character author recommends 0.6-1.0 for a content LoRA used alone,
+    dropped to 0.3-0.5 when combined with others.
+  • Some LoRA pairs are designed to be blended against each other — the LTX
+    2.3 Crisp Enhance / Soft Enhance pair is described by its author as
+    "can be used together and balanced at different strengths".
+  • The gemma-3-12b-it-abliterated LoRA is not a video LoRA and does not
+    belong in the DiT chain — it patches the Gemma text encoder through a
+    model+clip LoraLoader, as the official templates wire it.
+  • The author never states which weight family this targets. Within
+    LTX-2.3, dev vs distilled is low risk: they are the same architecture
+    and the distillation itself is published as a LoRA that the model card
+    calls "applicable to the full model", so ordinary content LoRAs load on
+    both. Expect style/strength drift rather than breakage; the

+
+───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+  COMPATIBILITY WARNING
+───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+  Within LTX-2.3, dev vs distilled is low risk: they are the same
+  architecture and the distillation itself is published as a LoRA that the
+  model card calls "applicable to the full model", so ordinary content LoRAs
+  load on both. Expect style/strength drift rather than breakage; the
+  distilled LoRA is meant to be applied to a dev checkpoint, not stacked on
+  an already-distilled one (the Python pipelines that start from a distilled
+  checkpoint — DistilledPipeline, ICLoraPipeline, DubItPipeline — explicitly
+  do not take --distilled-lora). The genuine risk is cross-version and cross-
+  format, and it is silent rather than a hard error: the LTX-2 repo README
+  states flatly that files "are not interchangeable between the two models,
+  and a LoRA only works with the model it was trained on", and a wrong-
+  version LoRA surfaces only as a stream of "lora key not loaded:
+  diffusion_model...." console warnings while generation proceeds as if no
+  LoRA were attached. The same silent no-op hits correctly-versioned LoRAs
+  saved in a non-ComfyUI key layout: SimpleTuner issue #2349 shows keys like
+  diffusion_model.connectors.audio_connector.transformer_blocks.N.attn1.to_q
+  going unloaded, where the LTX-2 trainer's own layout is attn1/attn2 for
+  video, audio_attn1/audio_attn2 for audio and audio_to_video_attn /
+  video_to_audio_attn for cross-modal. Community finetunes (Sulphur 2, JoyAI-
+  Echo merges) load stock LTX-2.3 LoRAs but shift the result. And an IC-LoRA
+  loaded without a metadata-reading node loses its reference scale: ComfyUI's
+  GetICLoRAParameters reads reference_downscale_factor out of the LoRA's
+  safetensors metadata and silently falls back to 1 when it is absent, so a
+  ref0.5 IC-LoRA wired straight into LTXVAddGuide without it feeds the
+  reference at the wrong latent scale.

+  AUTHOR'S DESCRIPTION
+───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+  FIRST OF ALL: Shout out to @Cseti for the original LTX2.3 Jinx model here !
+  You have inspired me to create LoRA's for more of the characters from the
+  show :)
+
+  Full Video & Voice Training!
+  The LTX2.3 LoRA for Mel (Arcane) is finally here! This LoRA was trained
+  using ai-toolkit against a small set of short sample video clips for both
+  video & audio! So that means that you can simply refer to Mel character by
+  the trigger word ArcaneMel naturally for entire videos, including speaking!
+  A closeup of ArcaneMel, she is wearing a green t-shirt and jeans, she is
+  standing outside on a city street corner at night with her hands on her
+  hips, she looks directly at the camera and says "Hey there, my name is Mel"
+  The training was intentionally done for the most flexibility with the
+  characters, so sometimes they might come out looking more like ... real
+  humans haha. That might be what you want! And that's the point! The
+  character LoRA should allow you to specify and override just about
+  anything.
+
+  Most of my testing was done at standard 1.0 strength, for best fidelity
+  would expect 0.8 - 1.0 , but play around and see what works best for you!
+
+  Still getting the hang of training LoRA models, please share your
+  generations here ( Add Post Below ) and provide any feedback you may have
+  <3
+
+  This LoRA is created as part of a fan project for research purposes only
+  and is not intended for commercial use. It is based on the show "Arcane"
+  which is protected by copyright. Users utilize the model at their own risk.
+  Users are obligated to comply with copyright laws and applicable
+  regulations. The model has been developed for non-commercial purposes, and
+  it is not my intention to infringe on any copyright. I assume no
+  responsibility for any damages or legal consequences arising from the use
+  of the model

+  HOW TO USE (COMFYUI)
+───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+  1. Update ComfyUI. LTX-2.3 is supported in ComfyUI core
+  (comfy_extras/nodes_lt.py provides EmptyLTXVLatentVideo, LTXVAddGuide,
+  GetICLoRAParameters, LTXVConditioning, LTXVScheduler,
+  LTXVConcatAVLatent/LTXVSeparateAVLatent, LTXVReferenceAudio and more) and
+  the six official templates need no custom nodes; install the Lightricks
+  "ComfyUI-LTXVideo" custom node pack only if you want IC-LoRA loaders, low-
+  VRAM loaders, HDR decode, audio-only nodes or Q8 nodes.
+  2. Put the base checkpoint in ComfyUI/models/checkpoints/ —
+  ltx-2.3-22b-dev-fp8.safetensors (29.15 GB) or ltx-2.3-22b-distilled-
+  fp8.safetensors (29.53 GB) from Lightricks/LTX-2.3-fp8, or the bf16
+  originals (46.15 GB) from Lightricks/LTX-2.3. It is a single file that also
+  carries the video VAE, the audio VAE and the text projection.
+  3. Put gemma_3_12B_it_fp4_mixed.safetensors in
+  ComfyUI/models/text_encoders/ (from Comfy-Org/ltx-2). The Python package
+  instead wants the full google/gemma-3-12b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized folder.
+  4. Put ltx-2.3-spatial-upscaler-x2-1.1.safetensors in
+  ComfyUI/models/latent_upscale_models/ (needed by every two-stage template),
+  and moge_2_vitl_normal_fp16.safetensors (Comfy-Org/MoGe) in
+  ComfyUI/models/geometry_estimation/ if you use the IC-LoRA depth path.
+  5. Put every LoRA .safetensors in ComfyUI/models/loras/. Subfolders are
+  fine — Lightricks' own workflows reference
+  "ltxv/ltx2/ltx-2.3-22b-distilled-lora-384-1.1.safetensors".
+  6. Load a normal content/style LoRA with LoraLoaderModelOnly, wired between
+  CheckpointLoaderSimple's MODEL output and the guider/sampler. In the stock
+  templates you chain it after the distilled-LoRA loader. Use the full
+  LoraLoader (model + clip) only for the gemma-3-12b-it-abliterated LoRA,
+  which patches the Gemma text encoder rather than the video model.
+  7. On a dev checkpoint, also load the acceleration LoRA
+  (ltx_2.3_22b_distilled_1.1_lora_dynamic_fro09_avg_rank_111_bf16.safetensors
+  at 0.5) unless you intend to run the slow guided path.
+  8. For an IC-LoRA, the LoRA loader alone is not enough: either use
+  LTXICLoRALoaderModelOnly + LTXAddVideoICLoRAGuide (ComfyUI-LTXVideo), or —
+  as the official ic_lora template does — feed the LoRA-loaded model through
+  core's GetICLoRAParameters into LTXVAddGuide, so the
+  reference_downscale_factor stored in the file's safetensors metadata is
+  read instead of defaulting to 1.
+  9. Template Library > Video > any LTX-2.3 workflow gives you correct wiring
+  to start from; workflow JSONs are at Comfy-Org/workflow_templates/templates
+  /video_ltx2_3_{t2v,i2v,ia2v,flf2v,ic_lora,id_lora}.json and
+  Lightricks/ComfyUI-LTXVideo/example_workflows/2.3/.
