OpenAI releases text-to-video model Sora for ChatGPT Plus and Pro ...
OpenAI has announced the release of its new artificial intelligence model named Sora, designed to create videos from text. This release is aimed at ChatGPT Plus and Pro users, marking a significant advancement in the realm of multimodal AI technologies.
The introduction of Sora builds upon OpenAI's previous success with the ChatGPT chatbot, which garnered widespread attention following its launch in November 2022. With this latest innovation, OpenAI is positioned to compete with similar text-to-video tools offered by industry giants like Meta, Google, and Stability AI's Stable Video Diffusion.
Enhanced Features and Accessibility
Sora was initially unveiled in February and was only accessible to safety testers during the research preview phase. However, it is now available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users as Sora Turbo, at no extra cost. The company has also hinted at tailored pricing options for different user categories, set to be introduced in the near future.
Users of Sora will have the capability to generate videos with resolutions of up to 1080p, lasting up to 20 seconds, and available in various aspect ratios including widescreen, vertical, and square.
Global Availability and Content Restrictions
While Sora may not be immediately available in certain European regions, it will be accessible in other areas where ChatGPT is present. OpenAI has taken proactive measures to prevent the misuse of Sora by instituting restrictions on the creation and upload of harmful content such as child sexual abuse materials and sexual deepfakes.
Initially, uploads containing people will be limited, with plans to expand this feature as the company refines its deepfake detection mechanisms.
The release of Sora represents a significant step forward in AI technology, offering users an innovative tool for transforming text into engaging video content seamlessly.
