Sora

Create realistic and imaginative video scenes from text instructions.

by OpenAI
Sora is a cutting-edge AI model developed by OpenAI that can generate high-quality, realistic video clips up to a minute long from simple text prompts. It represents a significant leap in generative video technology, capable of creating complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background. The model understands not only what the user has asked for in the prompt, but also how those things exist in the physical world, enabling it to generate videos with impressive temporal consistency and visual coherence.

Sora is a diffusion model that works by starting with a video that looks like static noise and gradually transforms it by removing the noise over many steps. It can generate entire videos all at once or extend generated videos to make them longer, providing a high degree of creative control. The model is designed to serve as a foundation for models that can understand and simulate the real world, a capability OpenAI believes is an important milestone for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).

Currently, Sora is not publicly available. It is being made available to red teamers to assess critical areas for harms or risks, and to a select group of visual artists, designers, and filmmakers to gain feedback on how to advance the model to be most helpful for creative professionals. The goal is to ensure safety and gather insights before any potential broader release.
