OpenAI Unveils Sora 2 with TikTok-Style Social App for AI Video Integration

OpenAI has launched Sora 2, its latest video generation model, alongside a new social app that allows users to insert themselves into AI-generated clips. The model now produces synchronized audio and video, marking a significant advancement in simulating physical reality. Demonstrations include complex physical interactions like Olympic gymnastics routines and backflips on paddleboards, with improved realism and continuity.

The release, likened to a "GPT-3.5 moment for video," introduces physics-aware clips and multi-scene coherence. Sora 2 Pro is available for ChatGPT subscribers, while the base app offers invite-only access in the U.S. and Canada. OpenAI emphasizes the model's ability to handle failure realistically, avoiding the distortions common in earlier systems.
