About Genmo
Genmo is a research lab that builds video generation models. Its best-known release is Mochi 1, an open text-to-video model that can be run locally or tried in a web playground.
What it does
Mochi 1 turns a written description into a short video. The model is published openly, so developers can download it, run it on their own hardware, and customise it for their needs. A playground on the Genmo site lets visitors test prompts without setting anything up.
Key features
- Generate video from text prompts
- Run the Mochi model locally
- Customise the open model
- Try prompts in a web playground
- Download the model from Hugging Face
Who it's for
Researchers, developers and AI hobbyists who want to work with an open video model. People who only want a finished clip may prefer a hosted product.
Pricing and good to know
Mochi 1 is open source, so the model itself is free to download. Running it locally needs a capable graphics card and some technical setup, including Python packages. The web playground is a separate way to try the model without that setup.
