Overview
- “Sora by OpenAI” is now available on Google Play in the US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
- Actual use still requires an invite code before users can generate videos.
- The app can create hyperreal videos from a prompt or starting image, cast users or friends via cameos, remix others’ clips, and produce results with audio.
- Sora launched on iOS in late September and surpassed one million downloads within five days.
- OpenAI has faced criticism over deepfakes and copyright protections, reversed an opt-out stance for rightsholders, and says it plans monetizable character cameos.
