OpenAI Unveils Sora: A New Era in AI Video Generation

OpenAI has launched Sora, a text-to-video AI model, as part of its "ship-mas" product release series. Available to ChatGPT subscribers, Sora allows users to generate videos from text, animate images, and remix videos. The service offers different subscription tiers, with the Pro plan providing higher resolution and longer video durations. Sora includes features like storyboards and a remix tool, and videos will have watermarks and metadata to indicate AI generation. OpenAI emphasizes moderation to prevent misuse, while acknowledging challenges in balancing security and creativity. The launch follows a leak by artists protesting unpaid contributions.
