Sora is a text-to-video generative AI model developed by OpenAI, designed to create short video clips from user text prompts and also extend existing videos. It was publicly released in December 2024 for ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro users
. Sora builds on the technology behind OpenAI's DALL·E image generators but focuses on dynamic video content rather than still images
. Key features of Sora include:
- Generating videos up to one minute long based on textual descriptions or mixed inputs (text, images, videos)
- Editing options such as looping, remixing, and combining multiple videos via a storyboard tool
- Use of diffusion modeling techniques to progressively create video frames from noise, trained on captioned video data for better understanding of prompts
- Embedding a watermark in generated videos' metadata to indicate AI origin
- Integration plans with ChatGPT to allow users to generate Sora videos directly from the chatbot interface
Sora represents a significant advance in generative AI video creation, extending OpenAI's AI capabilities beyond text and images to video, enhancing creative possibilities for users and content creators
. In summary, ChatGPT Sora is OpenAI's AI-powered video generation tool integrated with ChatGPT, enabling users to create and edit short AI-generated videos from text prompts and multimedia inputs
