Sora
FreemiumOpenAI's flagship AI video generator creating photorealistic videos with synchronized dialogue, sound effects, and cinematic motion
What is Sora?
Sora is OpenAI's flagship video generation model and platform, accessible via the dedicated Sora app and through ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscriptions. The original Sora model, launched in early 2024, was widely considered the GPT-1 moment for AI video. Sora 2, released in late 2025, is a major leap forward: it generates physically accurate, realistic videos up to 25 seconds long with synchronized dialogue, sound effects, and background music from a single text prompt or image. Its breakthrough Cameos feature lets users insert themselves or any real-world subject into AI-generated scenes with accurate appearance and voice, blurring the line between AI-created and real-world footage. Available through the Sora iOS app, ChatGPT Plus ($20/month for 480p), and ChatGPT Pro ($200/month for 1080p), Sora 2 positions OpenAI as a leader in the consumer AI video space.
