  Genmo is a San Francisco research lab building open-source video generation
  models. Its flagship release, Mochi 1, is an Apache-2.0 licensed 10B-parameter
  text-to-video diffusion model (AsymmDiT architecture) with strong prompt
  adherence and high-fidelity motion. Genmo does NOT publish a first-party hosted
  developer REST API. Programmatic access to Mochi comes in three honest forms:
  (1) the open-source model itself, self-hosted via the repo's Python pipeline
  ("simple composable API"), CLI, Gradio UI, or ComfyUI; (2) third-party hosted
  inference APIs from partners such as Replicate and fal.ai; and (3) a
  credit-based consumer web app and Playground at genmo.ai/play. The endpoints
  documented here for hosted access are modeled from partner documentation and
  are not operated by Genmo.

    The first-party access surface is the open-source model itself. The Mochi
    repo (Apache-2.0) ships a "simple composable API" in Python -
    MochiSingleGPUPipeline built from T5ModelFactory, DitModelFactory, and
    DecoderModelFactory - invoked with prompt, resolution, num_frames, inference
    steps, guidance scale, and seed to generate 480p video locally. It also
    provides a cli.py, a Gradio UI (gradio_ui.py), and native ComfyUI support.
    This is a code library / local inference pipeline, not a hosted network API;
    weights (~60GB VRAM) are downloaded from Hugging Face. There is no Genmo REST
    endpoint - self-host it or use a partner (see the Replicate and fal.ai
    entries).

    Third-party hosted access to Genmo's Mochi 1 via Replicate's predictions API
    (model identifier genmoai/mochi-1). Runs on Nvidia H100 hardware, ~$0.42 per
    run, typically completing within 5 minutes at 480p. Invoked through
    Replicate's standard async prediction pattern - POST a prediction with the
    model version and inputs, poll or receive a webhook, then fetch the output
    video URL. This API is operated by Replicate, not Genmo; endpoints are
    modeled from Replicate's platform documentation.

    Third-party hosted access to Mochi via fal.ai (model identifier
    fal-ai/mochi-v1), using fal's queue API - submit with prompt, negative_prompt,
    seed, enable_prompt_expansion, and num_frames, then check status and fetch the
    resulting video URL. NOTE - as of the review date fal.ai lists this endpoint
    as deprecated / no longer supported. This API is operated by fal.ai, not
    Genmo; endpoints are modeled from fal's documentation and retained for
    discoverability.
