OpenAI Launches Sora, Offers Unlimited Access in $200 Pro Plan

Dec 9, 2024, 05:35 PM

OpenAI has launched Sora, a new AI-powered text-to-video generation tool, as part of its '12 Days of OpenAI' initiative. Sora allows users to generate up to one-minute videos from text prompts, supporting features such as text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video transformations. The tool is available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who receive 50 videos per month, and Pro subscribers, who for $200 per month receive unlimited access and higher resolutions up to 1080p. Sora uses a credit system for video generation, with credits resetting monthly and costs varying based on video resolution and duration. The platform is accessible at sora.com. Notably, Sora will not be available in the European Union and the UK at launch. Early reviews, including one by tech reviewer Marques Brownlee (MKBHD), highlight Sora's capabilities in generating realistic videos, though some limitations remain. The launch of Sora on December 9 signifies OpenAI's expansion into AI-generated video content, aiming to push the boundaries of visual generation technology.
