Introducing Sora: The Future of AI-Generated Video

A New Frontier in AI Simulation

We’re pioneering AI that understands and simulates physical reality—training models to help solve real-world interaction challenges. Meet Sora, our breakthrough text-to-video model that creates high-fidelity, minute-long videos from simple prompts while maintaining stunning visual quality.

Sora in Action: Sample Creations

🏙️ “Neon Tokyo Stroll”

A stylish woman in a black leather jacket walks confidently down a reflective Tokyo street, bathed in glowing neon signs.

🦣 “Prehistoric Giants”

Woolly mammoths trek through snowy meadows, their fur rippling in the wind against mountain backdrops—captured in cinematic detail.

🚀 “Space Adventure Trailer”

*A 30-year-old astronaut in a red wool helmet explores salt deserts under blue skies—shot on “35mm film” with vivid colors.*

🌊 “Big Sur’s Raw Beauty”

A drone captures waves crashing against rugged cliffs at sunset, with a distant lighthouse completing this Pacific Coast masterpiece.

🕯️ “Curious Creature”

*A fluffy monster kneels beside a melting candle, wide-eyed with wonder in a cozy 3D-rendered scene.*

Why Sora Stands Out

✅ Complex scene generation with multiple characters
✅ Physics-aware motion (though still improving)
✅ Emotionally expressive characters
✅ Multi-shot continuity within single videos

---

Current Limitations

⚠️ Physics inaccuracies (e.g., objects not reacting realistically)
⚠️ Spatial confusion (left/right or camera movement errors)
⚠️ Spontaneous entity generation in crowded scenes

Example: A bitten cookie might not show teeth marks; a basketball might “morph” unnaturally after swishing through a hoop.

Safety First

We’re implementing robust safeguards:

• Red team testing for misinformation/hate content
• AI-generated video detection classifiers
• Content policy enforcement (rejecting violent/abusive prompts)
• C2PA metadata plans for transparency

---

Early Access & Future Vision

Sora is now available to:

• Red teamers (risk assessment)
• Visual artists/filmmakers (creative feedback)

This controlled rollout lets us refine Sora responsibly before broader release.

Technical breakthrough: Sora uses diffusion transformers and DALL·E 3’s recaptioning tech to achieve unprecedented video coherence across variable durations/resolutions.

This Is Just the Beginning

Sora represents a critical step toward AI that understands physical reality—a key milestone on the path to AGI.
