OpenAI’s Sora, an AI video generation tool, set to make its first public appearance! CTO Mira Murati announces release date.
Last month, CEO Sam Altman unveiled OpenAI’s groundbreaking text-to-video generation tool, Sora, through X. The tool, powered by AI, quickly gained popularity on social media for its impressive capabilities. Altman also encouraged followers to submit prompts for Sora, resulting in the creation of a highly buzzed-about 60-second video. While the tool has not yet been made accessible to the public, OpenAI CTO Mira Murati has hinted at a forthcoming release in the next few months. Stay tuned for updates on when this highly anticipated tool will be available to all users.
OpenAI Sora public release
OpenAI’s CTO Mira Murati talked about his new artificial intelligence video creation tool, Sora, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. Murati not only presented the features of the tool, but also revealed when the tool will be available for public use. He briefly explained how the tool can create intuitive videos in seconds with just text prompts. So far, however, Sora has only been available to visual artists, designers and filmmakers.
Now the company plans to bring the tool to more users. Murati said in the interview that Sora will be publicly available “this year,” meaning it’s only a few months away. It was also highlighted that the company plans to add audio to the videos to add a more realistic feel. The company has more plans for Sora, as Murati said: “We’re trying to figure out how to use this technology as a tool for people to modify and create.”
Murati also explains that the data used to train Sora was publicly available or licensed. It utilizes images available on Shutterstock. He also emphasized that Sora does not create videos of public figures in accordance with company policy and all videos created with the tool would be watermarked.
