Sora is an upcoming generative artificial intelligence model developed by OpenAI, that specializes in text-to-video generation. The model accepts textual descriptions, known as prompts, from users and generates short video clips corresponding to those descriptions. Prompts can specify artistic styles, fantastical imagery, or real-world scenarios. When creating real-world scenarios, user input may be required to ensure factual accuracy, otherwise features can be added erroneously. Sora is praised for its ability to produce videos with high levels of visual detail, including intricate camera movements and characters that exhibit a range of emotions. Furthermore, the model possesses the functionality to extend existing short videos by generating new content that seamlessly precedes or follows the original clip.^[1][2][3] As of April 2024,^[update] it is unreleased and not yet available to the public.^[4]
