Mochi 1 Preview

Only a research preview of the model weights is available at the moment.

Mochi 1 is a video generation model by Genmo with a strong focus on prompt adherence and motion quality. The model features a 10B parameter Asmmetric Diffusion Transformer (AsymmDiT) architecture, and uses non-square QKV and output projection layers to reduce inference memory requirements. A single T5-XXL model is used to encode prompts.

Mochi 1 preview is an open state-of-the-art video generation model with high-fidelity motion and strong prompt adherence in preliminary evaluation. This model dramatically closes the gap between closed and open video generation systems. The model is released under a permissive Apache 2.0 license.

Make sure to check out the Schedulers guide to learn how to explore the tradeoff between scheduler speed and quality, and see the reuse components across pipelines section to learn how to efficiently load the same components into multiple pipelines.

##
Quantization

Quantization helps reduce the memory requirements of very large models by storing model weights in a lower precision data type. However, quantization may have varying impact on video quality depending on the video model.

Refer to the Quantization overview to learn more about supported quantization backends and selecting a quantization backend that supports your use case. The example below demonstrates how to load a quantized MochiPipeline for inference with bitsandbytes.

    import torch
    from diffusers import BitsAndBytesConfig as DiffusersBitsAndBytesConfig, MochiTransformer3DModel, MochiPipeline
    from diffusers.utils import export_to_video
    from transformers import BitsAndBytesConfig as BitsAndBytesConfig, T5EncoderModel

    quant_config = BitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
    text_encoder_8bit = T5EncoderModel.from_pretrained(
        "genmo/mochi-1-preview",
        subfolder="text_encoder",
        quantization_config=quant_config,
        torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    )

    quant_config = DiffusersBitsAndBytesConfig(load_in_8bit=True)
    transformer_8bit = MochiTransformer3DModel.from_pretrained(
        "genmo/mochi-1-preview",
        subfolder="transformer",
        quantization_config=quant_config,
        torch_dtype=torch.float16,
    )

    pipeline = MochiPipeline.from_pretrained(
        "genmo/mochi-1-preview",
        text_encoder=text_encoder_8bit,
        transformer=transformer_8bit,
        torch_dtype=torch.float16,
        device_map="balanced",
    )

    video = pipeline(
      "Close-up of a cats eye, with the galaxy reflected in the cats eye. Ultra high resolution 4k.",
      num_inference_steps=28,
      guidance_scale=3.5
    ).frames[0]
    export_to_video(video, "cat.mp4")

##
Generating videos with Mochi-1 Preview

The following example will download the full precision `mochi-1-preview` weights and produce the highest quality results but will require at least 42GB VRAM to run.

    import torch
    from diffusers import MochiPipeline
    from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

    pipe = MochiPipeline.from_pretrained("genmo/mochi-1-preview")

    # Enable memory savings
    pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
    pipe.enable_vae_tiling()

    prompt = "Close-up of a chameleon's eye, with its scaly skin changing color. Ultra high resolution 4k."

    with torch.autocast("cuda", torch.bfloat16, cache_enabled=False):
          frames = pipe(prompt, num_frames=85).frames[0]

    export_to_video(frames, "mochi.mp4", fps=30)

##
Using a lower precision variant to save memory

The following example will use the `bfloat16` variant of the model and requires 22GB VRAM to run. There is a slight drop in the quality of the generated video as a result.

    import torch
    from diffusers import MochiPipeline
    from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

    pipe = MochiPipeline.from_pretrained("genmo/mochi-1-preview", variant="bf16", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)

    # Enable memory savings
    pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
    pipe.enable_vae_tiling()

    prompt = "Close-up of a chameleon's eye, with its scaly skin changing color. Ultra high resolution 4k."
    frames = pipe(prompt, num_frames=85).frames[0]

    export_to_video(frames, "mochi.mp4", fps=30)

##
Reproducing the results from the Genmo Mochi repo

The Genmo Mochi implementation uses different precision values for each stage in the inference process. The text encoder and VAE use `torch.float32`, while the DiT uses `torch.bfloat16` with the attention kernel set to `EFFICIENT_ATTENTION`. Diffusers pipelines currently do not support setting different `dtypes` for different stages of the pipeline. In order to run inference in the same way as the original implementation, please refer to the following example.

The original Mochi implementation zeros out empty prompts. However, enabling this option and placing the entire pipeline under autocast can lead to numerical overflows with the T5 text encoder.

When enabling `force_zeros_for_empty_prompt`, it is recommended to run the text encoding step outside the autocast context in full precision.

Decoding the latents in full precision is very memory intensive. You will need at least 70GB VRAM to generate the 163 frames in this example. To reduce memory, either reduce the number of frames or run the decoding step in `torch.bfloat16`.

    import torch
    from torch.nn.attention import SDPBackend, sdpa_kernel

    pipe.enable_vae_tiling()
    pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()

    prompt =  "An aerial shot of a parade of elephants walking across the African savannah. The camera showcases the herd and the surrounding landscape."

    with torch.no_grad():
        prompt_embeds, prompt_attention_mask, negative_prompt_embeds, negative_prompt_attention_mask = (

    has_latents_mean = hasattr(pipe.vae.config, "latents_mean") and pipe.vae.config.latents_mean is not None
    has_latents_std = hasattr(pipe.vae.config, "latents_std") and pipe.vae.config.latents_std is not None
    if has_latents_mean and has_latents_std:
        latents_mean = (
            torch.tensor(pipe.vae.config.latents_mean).view(1, 12, 1, 1, 1).to(frames.device, frames.dtype)
        )
        latents_std = (
            torch.tensor(pipe.vae.config.latents_std).view(1, 12, 1, 1, 1).to(frames.device, frames.dtype)
        )
        frames = frames * latents_std / pipe.vae.config.scaling_factor + latents_mean
    else:
        frames = frames / pipe.vae.config.scaling_factor

    video = video_processor.postprocess_video(video)[0]
    export_to_video(video, "mochi.mp4", fps=30)

##
Running inference with multiple GPUs

It is possible to split the large Mochi transformer across multiple GPUs using the `device_map` and `max_memory` options in `from_pretrained`. In the following example we split the model across two GPUs, each with 24GB of VRAM.

    import torch
    from diffusers import MochiPipeline, MochiTransformer3DModel
    from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

    model_id = "genmo/mochi-1-preview"
    transformer = MochiTransformer3DModel.from_pretrained(
        model_id,
        subfolder="transformer",
        device_map="auto",
        max_memory={0: "24GB", 1: "24GB"}
    )

    pipe = MochiPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id,  transformer=transformer)
    pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
    pipe.enable_vae_tiling()

    with torch.autocast(device_type="cuda", dtype=torch.bfloat16, cache_enabled=False):
        frames = pipe(
            prompt="Close-up of a chameleon's eye, with its scaly skin changing color. Ultra high resolution 4k.",
            negative_prompt="",
            height=480,
            width=848,
            num_frames=85,
            num_inference_steps=50,
            guidance_scale=4.5,
            num_videos_per_prompt=1,
            generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(0),
            max_sequence_length=256,
            output_type="pil",
        ).frames[0]

    export_to_video(frames, "output.mp4", fps=30)

##
Using single file loading with the Mochi Transformer

You can use `from_single_file` to load the Mochi transformer in its original format.

Diffusers currently doesn't support using the FP8 scaled versions of the Mochi single file checkpoints.

    import torch
    from diffusers import MochiPipeline, MochiTransformer3DModel
    from diffusers.utils import export_to_video

    model_id = "genmo/mochi-1-preview"

    ckpt_path = "https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/mochi_preview_repackaged/blob/main/split_files/diffusion_models/mochi_preview_bf16.safetensors"

    transformer = MochiTransformer3DModel.from_pretrained(ckpt_path, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)

    pipe = MochiPipeline.from_pretrained(model_id,  transformer=transformer)
    pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload()
    pipe.enable_vae_tiling()

    with torch.autocast(device_type="cuda", dtype=torch.bfloat16, cache_enabled=False):
        frames = pipe(
            prompt="Close-up of a chameleon's eye, with its scaly skin changing color. Ultra high resolution 4k.",
            negative_prompt="",
            height=480,
            width=848,
            num_frames=85,
            num_inference_steps=50,
            guidance_scale=4.5,
            num_videos_per_prompt=1,
            generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(0),
            max_sequence_length=256,
            output_type="pil",
        ).frames[0]

`~pipelines.mochi.MochiPipelineOutput` or `tuple`

Parameters

- prompt (`str` or `List[str]`, optional) — The prompt or prompts to guide the image generation. If not defined, one has to pass `prompt_embeds`. instead.

Can be used to tweak the same generation with different prompts. If not provided, a latents tensor will ge generated by sampling using the supplied random `generator`.
- prompt_embeds (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated text embeddings. Can be used to easily tweak text inputs, e.g. prompt weighting. If not provided, text embeddings will be generated from `prompt` input argument.
- prompt_attention_mask (`torch.Tensor`, optional) — Pre-generated attention mask for text embeddings.
- negative_prompt_embeds (`torch.FloatTensor`, optional) — Pre-generated negative text embeddings. For PixArt-Sigma this negative prompt should be "". If not provided, negative_prompt_embeds will be generated from `negative_prompt` input argument.
- negative_prompt_attention_mask (`torch.FloatTensor`, optional) — Pre-generated attention mask for negative text embeddings.
- output_type (`str`, optional, defaults to `"pil"`) — The output format of the generate image. Choose between PIL: `PIL.Image.Image` or `np.array`.
- return_dict (`bool`, optional, defaults to `True`) — Whether or not to return a `~pipelines.mochi.MochiPipelineOutput` instead of a plain tuple.
- attention_kwargs (`dict`, optional) — A kwargs dictionary that if specified is passed along to the `AttentionProcessor` as defined under `self.processor` in diffusers.models.attention_processor.
- callback_on_step_end (`Callable`, optional) — A function that calls at the end of each denoising steps during the inference. The function is called with the following arguments: `callback_on_step_end(self: DiffusionPipeline, step: int, timestep: int, callback_kwargs: Dict)`. `callback_kwargs` will include a list of all tensors as specified by `callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs`.
- callback_on_step_end_tensor_inputs (`List`, optional) — The list of tensor inputs for the `callback_on_step_end` function. The tensors specified in the list will be passed as `callback_kwargs` argument. You will only be able to include variables listed in the `._callback_tensor_inputs` attribute of your pipeline class.
- max_sequence_length (`int` defaults to `256`) — Maximum sequence length to use with the `prompt`.
