OpenAI Shuts Down Sora Video Generation Model, Redirects Team to World Models and Robotics
OpenAI is discontinuing its Sora video generation model, with web/app access ending April 26 and API access closing September 24, 2026. The model was losing roughly $1 million per day, with daily active users falling below 500,000 after peaking at 1 million post-mobile launch. The Sora team will be redirected to longer-term projects including world models and robotics, while compute resources have already been diverted to a new coding/enterprise model codenamed Spud. The shutdown also effectively ends OpenAI's high-profile partnership with Disney, which had planned to invest up to $1 billion contingent on Sora integration.
Data Points: OpenAI shuts down Sora, Anthropic multi-agent harness, EVA voice benchmark, Arm AGI CPU, White House AI preemption proposal
OpenAI is shutting down its Sora text-to-video platform without explanation, ending a major Disney licensing deal worth up to $1 billion and eliminating video capabilities from ChatGPT amid Hollywood copyright tensions. Anthropic published details on a multi-agent harness enabling Claude to build full-stack applications over multi-hour sessions using a planner-generator-evaluator architecture. ServiceNow AI Research released EVA, an open-source two-dimensional benchmark for voice agents measuring both task accuracy and conversational experience quality. Additional items cover Arm's first self-designed data center CPU (AGI CPU) co-developed with Meta, and the Trump Administration's legislative proposal for a federal AI framework that would preempt state AI laws.
