Sora
OpenAI's text-to-video generation model that can create realistic and imaginative video clips up to one minute long from text descriptions, representing a major advance in AI video generation.
Sora, announced in February 2024, demonstrated an ability to generate photorealistic video with coherent motion, lighting, and physics understanding. The model can create videos in various styles, extend existing footage, and generate from still images. Sora represents a significant compute investment, as video generation requires substantially more processing than image generation. The model raised concerns about deepfakes and misinformation. Sora competes with Runway's Gen-2 and other video generation tools in a market projected to exceed $1.4 billion by 2027.
