OpenAI's video generation model, Sora, appears to have been leaked online. Multiple reports indicate that early beta testers or artists granted access to the tool have made it available on Hugging Face, expressing concerns about being exploited for unpaid research and development. The leaked version, referred to as 'Sora Turbo', is uncensored and allows for the rapid generation of high-quality 1080p videos up to 10 seconds long, with processing times around 10 seconds. Some generated videos display an OpenAI watermark in the bottom right corner. The incident raises questions about OpenAI's security measures and the ethical considerations of their early access programs. There is speculation that the leak may have been intentional to generate hype ahead of an official release.
