Details
Sora was an AI-powered app developed by OpenAI that used advanced generative models to create video and audio content. While the underlying Sora 2 model was technologically impressive, the app itself struggled to gain traction with users. The app was focused solely on AI-generated content, without the typical social features found in other social media apps. This lack of sustained user interest has led OpenAI to make the decision to shut down the Sora app, even as the core AI technology continues to be developed.
