Overview

• Sora 2 debuts with photorealistic video generation that adds synchronized dialogue and sound effects while improving multi-shot continuity and physical realism.
• A new iOS Sora app launches in the United States and Canada on an invite-only basis with a TikTok-style feed, 10‑second clip limit, remix tools, and requests for access inside the app.
• The ‘cameos’ feature requires a one-time video and audio verification to capture a user’s likeness, allows sharing permissions with friends, supports revocation at any time, and sends notifications when a cameo is used.
• OpenAI embeds visible watermarks and C2PA provenance, expands human moderation and parental controls, bans generating public figures without their own cameo, and blocks adult or extreme content.
• Access starts free with generous limits, paid extra generations are planned during high demand, ChatGPT Pro subscribers can use a higher-quality Sora 2 Pro, and an API is on the roadmap as copyright lawsuits continue.
