What is Sora OpenAI?

Sora is OpenAI's text-to-video model that generates short video clips from written descriptions. You write a detailed prompt describing a scene, action, or concept, and Sora produces a realistic video up to 20 seconds long. The model understands spatial relationships, physics, and how objects behave in motion, so it can create videos with multiple subjects, camera movement, and logical sequences. It's useful for anyone who needs video content quickly without filming or expensive production equipment. Currently available through ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscriptions, Sora sits between simple image generation and full video production tools.
