Overview

• Sora 2 adds synchronized dialogue and sound effects, more physics‑accurate motion, and multi‑shot continuity compared with earlier video models.
• The new Sora iOS app offers a TikTok‑style feed for 10‑second, AI‑only clips with remix tools, with no option to upload from the camera roll.
• A ‘cameos’ system requires a one‑time video and audio verification to use a likeness, lets users grant or revoke permissions, and blocks public figures unless they upload a cameo themselves.
• Access starts invite‑only on iPhones in the United States and Canada, ChatGPT Pro subscribers get an experimental Sora 2 Pro, and OpenAI signals web, API and broader rollout plans.
• OpenAI says all clips carry visible watermarks and C2PA metadata, teen accounts face added limits and wellbeing checks, usage is free with compute‑based caps and potential paid overages, and rights and copyright questions remain under active scrutiny.
