Sora
OpenAI's AI video generator: photoreal clips, physical coherence, bundled with ChatGPT Plus.
Sora is OpenAI's AI video generator, released to general availability in late 2025 and upgraded with Sora 2 in 2026. OpenAI's edge: the physical coherence of generated scenes (gravity, occlusion, motion) which still leads the competition on close shots and complex interactions.
Sora 2 generates clips up to 20 seconds at 1080p, with a Storyboard mode that sets keyframes for long multi-shot sequences. The Re-mix mode reworks an existing video by swapping an element ("replace the red jacket with a blue one"), and Blend fuses two clips into cinematic transitions.
Sora is bundled with ChatGPT Plus ($20/mo, 50 videos/month) and ChatGPT Pro ($200/mo, unlimited generation + priority 1080p).
