Biography
Sora was OpenAI's text-to-video generation model and standalone mobile/web application that allowed users to generate, remix, and share AI-generated video clips.
Cause of Death
OpenAI shut down the Sora app and standalone consumer video platform due to unsustainable compute and server infrastructure costs, poor long-term user retention, and a strategic shift in company focus toward enterprise AI software, productivity tools, and robotics.
