Overview
- Sora is now available on the Google Play Store in the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.
- Appfigures estimates the Android app saw about 470,000 installs on its first day, after the iOS version surpassed 1 million downloads in its first week in September.
- Powered by the Sora 2 model, the app generates hyperreal videos from text or images with audio (reported up to around 60 seconds and 1080p), and features a TikTok‑style feed, remixing, and Cameos to insert a user’s likeness.
- Access remains region‑limited, and OpenAI has waived the invite requirement for a limited time in the U.S., Canada, Japan, and South Korea.
- OpenAI has strengthened moderation, paused certain depictions like Martin Luther King Jr., shifted copyrighted‑character use to an opt‑in system, and continues to face rights‑holder scrutiny and a naming dispute over “Cameo.”
