Overview
- Sora lead Bill Peebles said the first new creator tools will roll out within days, letting users turn pets, toys, or other objects into shareable AI cameo characters from reference videos.
- The app will add basic editing starting with clip stitching, with additional video tools planned for later releases.
- OpenAI plans to expand Sora’s social experience with dedicated channels for groups such as universities, companies, and sports clubs.
- Pre-registration for Sora on Google Play is now live, though OpenAI has not given a release date and says the Android app should arrive soon.
- Appfigures estimates roughly 2 million downloads in under a month despite invite-only availability in the U.S. and Canada, as OpenAI works to reduce over-moderation and improve performance.
