What is Sora?

Sora is a new text-to-video model. It allows you to create almost any video using short-written prompts or images. The first version of Sora was introduced by OpenAI back in February of this year, but it was only a test version and was not widely available.

Over the year, the company has been tweaking and improving Sora. It is now faster, and more accurate and comes out under the name Sora Turbo.

In addition to refining the model, OpenAI has also developed interfaces to make working with text, images, and video easier. Internally, a set of tools is provided to specify the exact input data for each frame. In addition, the company has launched Featured and Recent feeds sections that are updated with creations from the community. These can be used as a source of inspiration for your projects.

Users with a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription can try the new model now.

As for restrictions and security, it's pretty much business as usual. Sora doesn’t generate sexualized and violent content, and it also labels metadata with the C2PA standard. This makes it easy to determine that a video was created with AI.

How to Try It

As part of the public release of Sora, OpenAI has launched the Sora.com website, where you can access the model. At the time of writing this post, the platform is supported in the US and other countries but is not available in Europe and the UK (due to regulatory restrictions). Check out the full list of countries here.

If your country is on the list of supported countries, you’ll need a ChatGPT Plus or ChatGPT Pro to use the model. While both will give you access, the number of features differs.

ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo):

• Up to 50 videos (1,000 credits)

ChatGPT Pro ($200/mo):
