Sora

Sora is OpenAI's advanced video generation model, capable of creating realistic and dynamic videos up to 1080p resolution from text prompts or image references. It leverages a diffusion transformer architecture to simulate complex physics and detailed scenes, understanding 3D spatial relationships, motion, and scene continuity. The model can generate videos up to 20 seconds long, extend existing clips, edit videos with targeted changes, and maintain character consistency across generations. Key capabilities include a dedicated web/app interface (now discontinued), a robust API (Videos API) for programmatic generation, and features for extension, remixing, and blending of assets. It employs safety measures like C2PA metadata, visible watermarks, and content moderation. Sora was previously available as part of ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscriptions and via a standalone API, though the consumer product was discontinued in April 2026. Target users include content creators, marketers, filmmakers,
