Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README describes Mochi 1 as a preview 10B AsymmDiT text-to-video model with AsymmVAE; single GPU needs ~60 GB VRAM, H100 recommended; ComfyUI runs it in under 20 GB. · source: https://github.com/genmoai/mochi
- [upstream_claim] Stated limitations: 480p only, minor warping on extreme motion, optimized for photorealism and weak on animated content. · source: https://github.com/genmoai/mochi
- [upstream_claim] Model card reports Diffusers example ~42 GB, bf16 variant ~22 GB with slight quality cost. · source: https://huggingface.co/genmo/mochi-1-preview
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
