Sora.ai is a new AI model developed by OpenAI that can create realistic and imaginative videos from text instructions. It is one of the most advanced text-to-video models in the world, capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds long with high visual quality and fidelity to the user’s prompt. Sora.ai can also create videos based on a still image or extend existing footage with new material. Sora.ai is designed to help people solve problems that require real-world interaction, such as education, entertainment, and research.
Sora.ai was announced by OpenAI on February 15, 2024, along with several examples of videos generated by the model. Some of the examples include a stylish woman walking down a Tokyo street, a movie trailer featuring a space man wearing a knitted helmet, and a papercraft world of a coral reef. The videos demonstrate Sora.ai’s ability to create scenes with complex camera motion, multiple characters, and vibrant emotions. The videos also show Sora.ai’s creativity and imagination, as it can produce scenes that are not based on existing footage or reality.
Sora.ai is currently only available to a few researchers and video creators, who are testing the model for its potential and limitations. OpenAI has also implemented strict terms of service for Sora.ai, prohibiting the use of the model for creating extreme violence, sexual content, hateful imagery, celebrity likeness, or the IP of others. The company has also added a watermark to the videos to indicate that they were made by AI. OpenAI has not disclosed how much footage was used to train Sora.ai or where the training videos came from, but it has stated that it used both publicly available and licensed videos.
Sora.ai is the latest product from OpenAI, a research organization that aims to create and promote beneficial artificial intelligence. OpenAI is also known for its other generative AI models, such as ChatGPT, a chatbot that can converse with users on various topics, and Dall-E, an image generator that can create pictures from text descriptions. OpenAI’s vision is to create artificial general intelligence (AGI), a level of AI that can perform any intellectual task that humans can. Sora.ai is a step towards that goal, as it demonstrates AI’s ability to understand and simulate the physical world in motion.
