OpenAI has finally launched the next generation of its text-to-video generation model, Sora 2, along with a new social media app that is powered by the new tool. Sora will compete directly with Google’s Veo-3, which became an instant hit among the masses after being launched to the public earlier in the year.
The new model is also said to be better at controllability, and OpenAI says it can follow intricate instructions spanning multiple shots while accurately persisting the world state. The model is touted to excel at realistic, cinematic, and anime styles.
One interesting fact about Sora 2 is that it is capable of inserting humans or any other real object directly into the created video.
“The model is far from perfect and makes plenty of mistakes, but it is validation that further scaling up neural networks on video data will bring us closer to simulating reality,” OpenAI says in its blog post.
