Genmo's Mochi 1 is the largest fully open video model available — 10 billion parameters, Apache 2.0 licence — and reviewers consistently rank its motion realism and prompt-following ahead of other open releases at launch. The licence is the real selling point: you can fine-tune it, self-host it on your own GPUs via the official repo or ComfyUI, and use the output commercially without asking anyone's permission. The hosted playground makes it easy to try without hardware, but the free tier caps out around 30 videos a month with a watermark, and even the $30/month Standard plan produces short clips at modest resolution, well behind Sora, Veo or Kling on length and fidelity. Self-hosting the full model needs serious GPU memory — around 60GB for the reference implementation. A strong pick for researchers and technical teams who want an open, tunable base model, not a finished consumer product.
What people say
Genmo shipped Mochi 1 in October 2024 as, at the time, the largest openly released video generation model — 10 billion parameters under an Apache 2.0 licence — and VentureBeat and other outlets covered it as a direct open-source answer to closed leaders like Runway and Kling. The company followed with a $28.4 million Series A led by NEA (with The House Fund, Gold House Ventures, WndrCo and others participating), which funded continued development toward an HD version.
On the technical side, Genmo's own GitHub repository documents the model at roughly 60GB of VRAM for the reference single-GPU implementation, though community ports through ComfyUI get that down under 20GB. That gap between 'open' and 'runs on a normal GPU' is the main practical barrier for anyone wanting to self-host rather than use the hosted playground.
The hosted product is simpler: a free playground capped around 30 watermarked videos a month, a Lite plan at $10/month (roughly 80 videos, no watermark, commercial rights), and a Standard plan at $30/month (roughly 180 videos, priority queue, early feature access). Independent consumer reviews are thin compared to bigger video-AI names — most public discussion of Genmo centers on the model release itself and its GitHub/Hugging Face reception rather than a large body of G2- or Trustpilot-style user reviews, so treat sentiment here as coming mostly from technical commentary rather than a broad user base.
What's consistent across the coverage that does exist is that Mochi 1's motion quality and prompt adherence were genuinely notable for an open model at release, even as generation length (a few seconds) and resolution trail the proprietary leaders.
Commercial usage rights kick in on the paid tiers rather than gating everything behind a separate enterprise contract, and Genmo also offers API-based generation for developers building on top of the model, alongside the fully open weights anyone can download and fine-tune.
