AI video startup Genmo launches Mochi 1, an open source rival to Runway, Kling, and others


Available under the permissive Apache 2.0 license, Mochi 1 offers users free access to cutting-edge video generation capabilities...

Already, Genmo claims that in internal tests, Mochi 1 bests most other video AI models — including the proprietary competition Runway and Luna — at prompt adherence and motion quality. “The long-term vision is that if we nail video generation, we’ll build the world’s best simulators, which could help solve embodied AI, robotics, and self-driving,” Jain explained. Genmo invites users to try the preview version of Mochi 1 via their hosted playground at genmo.ai/play, where the model can be tested with personalized prompts — though at the time of this article’s posting, the URL was not loading the correct page for VentureBeat.
