What Genmo Mochi 2 does
Genmo is a research lab building open, state-of-the-art video generation models. Its open-source text-to-video model, Mochi 1, turns written prompts into video clips, and the page also links a Mochi 1.1 entry. Users can generate video in the browser through the Playground, download the model from Hugging Face, or run it locally from the GitHub repository with a pip install quickstart. Mochi can also run through ComfyUI, and the code is open for customization and contribution. The page does not list resolution, clip length, frame rate, or pricing, and it does not name a target audience beyond people who want to run, customize, or build on the model. It also lists open roles in research, engineering, and design.
