Sora is here.
On Monday, Dec. 9, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that users in “most countries” will have access to its AI video generator, Sora — all you have to do is head to Sora.com and use your ChatGPT account.
This was the company’s biggest announcement so far in its ongoing 12 Days of OpenAI event, in which it discusses new products every day for the first 12 business days in December.
“This is going live today in most of the world,” Altman said during the livestream, adding that it won’t actually go live in most of Europe or the UK. “If you have an open AI Plus subscription, you get 50 generations a month. If you have an open AI pro, you get unlimited generations in our sort of slow queue mode and 500 normal faster generations. You can also get fewer generations at the higher resolution. And anybody with any account can enjoy the feed.”
The livestream also featured a demo of Sora, showing users how to check out videos made in Sora by scrolling through them in the “Featured” tab, which you can find under “Explore.” OpenAI showed off how to prompt video, choose resolutions, length and aspect radio, and took viewers through how to use its new Storyboard feature.
“We’re really excited to see what you all will create,” Altman said. “We’re really excited to see all of the new ways that this new kind of entertainment and tool will be used. You all did incredible work on this. I’m super proud of the team. I love the product.”
