OpenAI kills off AI video app Sora after 6 months
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman reportedly said all its text-to-video models would be shuttered, and a $1 billion investment from Disney has also been cancelled.
OpenAI has announced it is shutting down its video generation platform Sora after just six months, with CEO Sam Altman reportedly telling staff the company is winding down all of its video products.
“We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app,” Sora posted to X on Tuesday. “We know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work.”
Sora was released in September to a buzzy reception as the ChatGPT maker sought to make inroads on short-form video content popular across TikTok and Meta’s Instagram.
