OpenAI Launches Sora 2 and Invite-Only Sora App With AI-Only Short-Video Feed

An iOS rollout in the U.S. and Canada couples advanced AI video with a TikTok-style experience under stricter likeness and safety rules.

Overview

  • Sora 2 adds synchronized dialogue and sound effects, improves physical realism, and maintains continuity across multiple shots.
  • The Sora app serves only AI-generated clips capped at about 10 seconds, offers remixing, and does not allow direct photo or video uploads.
  • A verified cameo system lets people opt in their likeness, grants co-ownership and deletion rights, alerts users even on drafts, and blocks public figures unless they consent.
  • OpenAI cites guardrails including visible watermarks and metadata, automated filters, parental controls, teen limits, well-being checks, and expanded human moderation.
  • Access starts invite-only on iOS in the U.S. and Canada, ChatGPT Pro users get an experimental Sora 2 Pro, copyright remains opt-out for rights holders, and paid extra generations may appear during high demand.
