GemmaAPITextEncode: no LTX-2.5 checkpoint carries the 'encrypted_wandb_properties' model_id key

[vallicgrr]

Summary

GemmaAPITextEncode.extract_model_id() reads a metadata key named encrypted_wandb_properties from the selected checkpoint's safetensors header to build the model_id sent to https://api.ltx.video/v1/prompt-embedding. None of the LTX-2.5 checkpoints published on Lightricks/LTX-2.5 carry that key, so the node always fails with "Model ID cannot be identified from the provided model file" for any 2.5 checkpoint.

Details

Checked the safetensors header metadata (via a range request, not a full download) on both:

• diffusion_models/ltx-2.5-22b-distilled-transformer-bf16.safetensors
• diffusion_models/ltx-2.5-22b-dev-transformer-bf16.safetensors

Both return the same metadata key set:

['model_version', 'gemma_source_checkpoint', 'license', 'config']

encrypted_wandb_properties is absent from both. gemma_source_checkpoint is present instead, e.g.:

{"ltx_version": "2.5.0", "gemma_version": "gemma4-12b-ltx-v1"}

The Aug 11 launch-day update (PR #547) touched gemma_api_conditioning.py for multi-folder checkpoint resolution, but model_id_key = "encrypted_wandb_properties" itself was left unchanged, so the lookup still targets the old key.

I also tried calling /v1/prompt-embedding directly with a few plausible substitute model_id values derived from the new metadata (gemma4-12b-ltx-v1, ltx-2.5.0, 2.5.0, ltx-2.5, and a combined form) in case the API itself would accept a simpler identifier for 2.5. All were rejected identically:

{"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"The requested model_id is not served by this endpoint."}}

So this isn't just a stale key name on the client side - the API endpoint doesn't yet recognize any plain identifier for LTX-2.5 either, at least none I could guess from public metadata.

Expected behavior

GemmaAPITextEncode should work against LTX-2.5 checkpoints the same way it does for 2.3, either by:

• LTX-2.5 checkpoints carrying a valid encrypted_wandb_properties (or equivalent) value again, or
• the node/API being updated to derive a valid model_id from the new gemma_source_checkpoint/config metadata that 2.5 checkpoints do carry.

Environment

• Checkpoints: Lightricks/LTX-2.5, both distilled and dev transformer variants
