What is Sora?

Sora is an AI model developed by OpenAI that can create realistic and imaginative scenes from text instructions. It is designed to understand and simulate the physical world in motion, generating videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and adherence to the user’s prompt. Sora uses a diffusion model and a transformer architecture, similar to GPT models, allowing it to generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details. It can also generate video from existing still images and extend or fill in missing frames of existing videos. Sora aims to be a foundation for models that can understand and simulate the real world, a step towards achieving AGI.

How to use Sora?

Users can generate videos by providing text instructions (prompts). Additionally, Sora can take an existing still image and animate its contents into a video, or take an existing video and extend its duration or fill in missing frames.
