Mochi
GenmoMochi 1 is Genmo's 10B-parameter text-to-video diffusion model, built on its Asymmetric Diffusion Transformer architecture and trained from scratch. It generates 480p clips and is tuned for photorealistic rather than animated styles. Genmo publishes an inference harness with context parallelism and a LoRA fine-tuning trainer that runs on a single 80 GB GPU.
