OpenAI Outlines Next Sora Updates With Pet Cameos, Clip Stitching, Channels, Android “Coming Soon”

The roadmap lands as Sora’s realistic videos draw warnings about potential misuse from critics.

Overview

  • Sora head Bill Peebles said character cameos will soon support pets, stuffed toys, and previously generated characters, with a UI section for real-time trending cameos.
  • Basic editing is starting with the ability to stitch multiple clips together, with more tools planned after the initial rollout.
  • OpenAI is building community channels tailored to groups such as universities, companies, and sports clubs to expand social use.
  • The team says it is working to reduce overly strict moderation of generations and to improve overall app performance.
  • The app remains invite-only on iOS in the U.S. and Canada with roughly 2 million downloads estimated by Appfigures, and an Android release is described as coming soon.
