OpenAI Halts Sora Service

OpenAI is discontinuing Sora, its app that allows users to generate artificial intelligence (AI) videos with text prompts. The move comes after the app and a major update for Sora were announced last fall, generating significant anticipation. Experts suggest that despite Sora's shutdown, the influx of AI-generated video content online is unlikely to slow.

Concurrently with the shutdown of Sora, OpenAI has also announced the termination of its $1 billion partnership with Disney. This deal would have enabled hundreds of Disney's iconic characters to be used in Sora AI-generated videos. The developer of ChatGPT, OpenAI is thus concluding its collaboration with Disney.
