Sparse-view 3D CT reconstruction aims to recover volumetric structures from a limited number of 2D X-ray projections. Existing feedforward methods are constrained by the limited capacity of CNN-based architectures and the scarcity of large-scale training datasets. In this paper, we propose an X-ray Large Reconstruction Model (X-LRM) for extremely sparse-view (<10 views) CT reconstruction. X-LRM consists of two key components: X-former and X-triplane. Our X-former can handle an arbitrary number of input views using an MLP-based image tokenizer and a Transformer-based encoder. The output tokens are then upsampled into our X-triplane representation, which models the 3D radiodensity as an implicit neural field. To support the training of X-LRM, we introduce Torso-16K, a large-scale dataset comprising over 16K volume-projection pairs of various torso organs. Extensive experiments demonstrate that X-LRM outperforms the state-of-the-art method by 1.5 dB and achieves 27x faster speed and better flexibility. Furthermore, the downstream evaluation of lung segmentation tasks also suggests the practical value of our approach. Our code, pre-trained models, and dataset will be released at
