"OpenAI announced the move in a social media post Tuesday just after a Wall Street Journal story broke the news. The company said it will have more to share soon on timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work."
"To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. OpenAI wrote. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing."
"The announcement comes days after leaked news of an OpenAI all-hands meeting in which company executives reportedly said they were refocusing on business and productivity applications rather than being distracted by side quests."
"The move also comes just months after Disney invested $1 billion in OpenAI as part of a deal that would bring beloved characters from across Disney's brands to Sora."
OpenAI is preparing to shut down Sora, a video generation app that gained attention upon its late 2024 launch. The company announced this decision via social media, promising more information on timelines and work preservation. OpenAI expressed gratitude to users for their contributions. This announcement follows a company meeting where executives emphasized a shift towards business applications. The shutdown occurs shortly after Disney's $1 billion investment in OpenAI, raising questions about the future of their partnership.
