**Temporal Context Routing (TCR)** aligns script-specified shot and dialogue timing with the shared video-audio timeline. Timing bypasses the text encoder and enters cross-attention logits as a routing score, separating *what* to generate from *when* it should appear. Built on LTX-2.3 22B, TCR reduces shot-boundary error from **1.11 s to 0.042 s**—about one frame at 24 fps—and raises dialogue timing accuracy from **28.3% to 84.1%**.

This repository hosts the released **LoRA** (`temporal-context-routing.safetensors`, ~2.3 GB) and the **200 held-out test prompts** (`test_prompts_200.json`) used in the paper. Training and inference code is at [DAGroup-PKU/Temporal-Context-Routing](https://github.com/DAGroup-PKU/Temporal-Context-Routing). Demos are available on the [project page](https://dagroup-pku.github.io/Temporal-Context-Routing.github.io/).

## Files

| File | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| `temporal-context-routing.safetensors` | TCR LoRA, rank 128, trained on LTX-2.3 22B (paper 7k-step recipe) |
| `test_prompts_200.json` | 200 held-out script JSON files with per-shot / per-line `time_range` |

You still need the **LTX-2.3 22B** checkpoint and the **Gemma 3 12B** text encoder locally. One 80 GB GPU is the working setup.

```bash
huggingface-cli download starry0929/Temporal-Context-Routing \
  temporal-context-routing.safetensors test_prompts_200.json \
  --local-dir ./weights
```

Then follow the [code README](https://github.com/DAGroup-PKU/Temporal-Context-Routing#inference):

```bash
bash scripts/infer.sh \
  --checkpoint /path/to/ltx-2.3-22b-dev.safetensors \
  --text-encoder-path /path/to/gemma-3-12b-it \
  --lora-path ./weights/temporal-context-routing.safetensors \
  --output outputs/tcr_infer.mp4
```
