Sora

What is Sora?

Sora is OpenAI text-to-video generation model capable of producing photorealistic video clips up to 20 seconds long from text descriptions. It demonstrates understanding of physics, spatial relationships, and natural motion that sets a new standard for AI video quality. Sora generates videos with cinematic camera movements, realistic lighting, accurate reflections, and coherent object persistence across frames. The model creates video from text prompts, extends existing videos, fills in missing frames, and generates video from still images with natural animation. Access is available through ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo) with limited video generations, ChatGPT Pro ($200/mo) with higher limits and longer clips, and the API for developers. Output resolution supports up to 1080p in various aspect ratios optimized for different platforms. While Sora produces the most photorealistic AI video available, limitations include high cost per generation, occasional physics errors in complex scenes, and difficulty with precise text rendering and fine motor actions.
