AI video creation platform and developer of the Mochi-1 open-source model - generate smooth, expressive video clips from text prompts with high motion quality.

Genmo is an AI video generation company that developed Mochi-1, one of the first high-quality open-source text-to-video models released in late 2024. The Mochi-1 model weights are freely available on HuggingFace, making it the preferred base model for researchers and developers building video generation tools. Genmo also operates a web-based creative platform where users can generate video clips from text prompts without any code. The model is specifically designed for high-motion coherence and expressive human movement, areas where earlier video generation models struggled. Genmo has positioned itself as the open-source alternative to closed commercial video models like Sora and Veo.
