OpenAI Sora 2: The GPT-3.5 Moment for Video Generation
Today OpenAI is releasing Sora 2 (Sora2), our flagship AI video and audio generation model. Sora 2 represents a quantum leap in AI-powered video creation technology.
The original OpenAI Sora model from February 2024 marked the GPT-1 moment for video—the first time AI video generation truly worked, with emergent behaviors like object permanence. Since then, the OpenAI Sora team has focused on advancing world simulation capabilities through deep learning and neural networks.
With Sora 2, OpenAI achieves what may be the GPT-3.5 moment for video AI. Sora2 accomplishes tasks that were exceptionally difficult or impossible for prior video generation models: Olympic gymnastics routines, backflips on paddleboards with accurate physics simulation, and complex movements that respect the laws of nature. This is AI video generation at its finest.

OpenAI Sora 2: Physically Accurate AI Video Simulations
Previous AI video generation models were overoptimistic—morphing objects and deforming reality to execute text prompts. For example, if a basketball player missed a shot, the ball might spontaneously teleport to the hoop. This is where OpenAI Sora 2 revolutionizes AI video generation.
In OpenAI's Sora 2 (Sora2), if a basketball player misses a shot, the AI model accurately simulates the ball rebounding off the backboard. The "mistakes" Sora2 makes often appear to be realistic errors of the internal agent the model is simulating. OpenAI Sora 2 excels at obeying the laws of physics compared to any prior AI video generation system.
This physical accuracy is crucial for any AI world simulator—OpenAI Sora 2 can model both success and failure, creating truly realistic AI-generated videos.

Sora 2 Advanced AI Video Controllability
OpenAI Sora 2 represents a massive leap forward in AI video controllability. Sora2 can follow intricate text-to-video instructions spanning multiple shots while accurately maintaining world state consistency. OpenAI's Sora 2 excels at generating realistic, cinematic, and anime-style AI videos with unprecedented precision.

OpenAI Sora 2 Cameos: AI-Powered Personalization
OpenAI Sora 2 (Sora2) enables direct injection of real-world elements into AI-generated videos. By analyzing a video recording, Sora 2's AI can insert people into any Sora-generated environment with accurate appearance and voice portrayal. This revolutionary OpenAI Sora 2 feature works for any human, animal, or object—showcasing the power of advanced AI video generation.
Prompt: Bigfoot is really kind to him, a little too kind, like oddly kind. Bigfoot wants to hang out but he he wants to hang too much
While OpenAI Sora 2 isn't perfect and makes mistakes, it validates that scaling neural networks on video data brings AI closer to simulating reality. OpenAI continues to improve Sora2 with each iteration.
