Sora
OpenAI's video model with impressive continuity, physics, and long-shot coherence.
About Sora
Sora is OpenAI's video generation model, designed for long-form shots with impressive continuity, physics, and scene coherence. Unlike early video tools that produce a few jittery seconds, Sora aims for minutes of stable, story-driven footage.
It understands how objects interact in the real world — a character walking through a scene, water splashing, light shifting — which makes generated clips feel dramatically more grounded. It is integrated into ChatGPT for easy access.
For filmmakers, advertisers, and storytellers who want coherent, longer AI video, Sora represents the biggest leap in the category.
