The recent innovation marks OpenAI's significant move into social media and fully AI-generated content, which aims to deliver a more realistic and interactive video creation experience through advanced AI technology.
Sora 2 offers significant improvements in physical accuracy, control, and real-world simulation capabilities.
Significant Improvements in Sora 2
Sora 2 offers substantial improvements over its previous version, Sora 1, which was released in February 2024.
These improvements are primarily seen in realism, control, and more accurate physical world simulation capabilities.
One of Sora 2's revolutionary features is its fully synchronized video and audio capabilities.
For the first time, the resulting video will include synchronized dialogue and sound effects, bringing production quality to a level comparable to other leading video AI models.
The Cameo feature allows users to insert their own faces or those of friends into AI-generated scenes.
On Tuesday, OpenAI research scientist Gabriel Petersson showed off the model's cameo abilities by posting videos on X featuring his likeness riding a dragon, jumping off a cargo ship, and running through OpenAI's offices with a likeness of CEO Sam Altman.
"The model is far from perfect and makes plenty of mistakes, but it is validation that further scaling up neural networks on video data will bring us closer to simulating reality," OpenAI wrote in its announcement.
"Sora" Social App: A New Era of AI Content
Along with the launch of the Sora 2 model, OpenAI also introduced a new iOS social app called "Sora."
The app is designed as a closed social network where every post, including those featuring real people, is entirely AI-generated.
The app offers a familiar user interface, with a vertical, swipe-based layout similar to popular platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Users can register, follow friends, and share content entirely generated by AI.
At first, the Sora app is only available to iPhone users in the US and Canada through an invite-only system.
Each invited user is given the opportunity to share four additional invite codes with their friends.
Sora 2 Availability
OpenAI is ensuring that Sora 2 is widely accessible through various channels.
The model will initially be available for free with "generous" restrictions, allowing users to explore its capabilities broadly.
ChatGPT Pro users will have access to higher-quality experimental Sora 2 Pro models through sora.com, which will be available soon in the Sora app.
Furthermore, OpenAI plans to release Sora 2 as an API, enabling third-party developers to integrate the technology into their own applications and workflows.
