"Sora's research team will continue to focus on world simulation research to advance robotics that will help people solve real-world, physical tasks, an OpenAI spokesperson confirmed."
"With Sora 2, we are jumping straight to what we think may be the GPT-3.5 moment for video, the company said at the time."
"The deal, now, is off. OpenAI is winding down its work with Disney and no money ever changed hands, according to a source familiar with the situation."
Sora is ceasing operations for its iOS app, API, and Sora.com due to high compute demands. The research team will continue focusing on world simulation to advance robotics. The original Sora model launched in early 2024, followed by a popular app in 2025. However, downloads fell by 45% by January. A significant deal with Disney for character licensing and investment is now off, with no funds exchanged. OpenAI plans to share details on the shutdown timeline and how users can save their AI videos.
