Overview

• Sora 2 generates photorealistic clips with synchronized dialogue and sound effects, improved physical realism, and better multi-shot continuity.
• A new iOS app called Sora debuts on an invite-only basis in the U.S. and Canada, offering a vertical feed of 10-second AI videos with creation, remixing, and a verified cameo system.
• The cameo feature requires a one-time video and audio verification and lets users grant or revoke permission for others to use their likeness, with notifications whenever it appears.
• OpenAI says all content carries visible watermarks and C2PA provenance metadata, with automated and human moderation, parental controls, bans on explicit or extreme content, and restrictions on public figures without consent.
• Access starts free with generous generation limits, paid top-ups may appear during high demand, ChatGPT Pro users get Sora 2 Pro, and an API rollout is planned as OpenAI faces ongoing copyright and safety scrutiny.
