OpenAI has rolled out its text-to-video AI model, Sora, for ChatGPT Plus and Pro users, allowing the generation of high-quality videos from text prompts. The model comes with features such as image animation and video remixing, with safety nets in place to ensure ethical use.
OpenAI has officially launched Sora, its advanced text-to-video AI model, and it is now available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers in the United States and several other countries. This is a significant step forward in AI-generated content, allowing users to create high-quality videos with simple text prompts.
Sora was first introduced in February 2024 and has received rigorous testing to ensure safety and effectiveness. The model allows users to produce videos up to 20 seconds in length with resolutions reaching 1080p. It also gives features such as image animation and video remixing that make it a versatile content creation tool.
ChatGPT Plus subscribers can generate as many as 50 priority videos per month at 720p resolution for $20. ChatGPT Pro subscribers get unlimited generations at 1080p for $200 per month. Tailor-made pricing for different categories of users will be introduced early next year, according to OpenAI.
Towards the ethical concerns, OpenAI has ensured safeguards against misuse, such as restrictions on explicit or violent content and the generation of likenesses of real individuals. All AI-generated videos include watermarks and C2PA metadata embedded in them to prove origin.
While Sora is now available for almost all regions, its official date for European Union country members, Switzerland, and the UK has been delayed. Open AI seeks to expand access to that geographical area in the coming times.
The launch of Sora marks a vital point in AI-driven video-making capabilities, opening up tremendous opportunity for creative expression along with responsible use.
