Sora 2

Sora 2 is OpenAI's flagship video and audio generation model, representing a significant leap in world simulation capabilities for AI. It generates highly realistic and physically accurate videos, capable of modeling complex physical dynamics such as buoyancy and object permanence. The model supports synchronized dialogue and sound effects, enabling the creation of cinematic, anime, and realistic styles. Sora 2 also allows users to inject real-world elements into generated videos through a 'cameos' feature, which captures a user's likeness and voice for insertion into any scene. The model is accessible through the new Sora iOS app, designed as a social platform for creating, remixing, and sharing video content with friends.
