Launching Sora Responsibly: OpenAI's Safety Approach for Sora 2 and the Sora App
OpenAI has published a safety-focused announcement accompanying the launch of Sora 2 and the Sora social creation platform. The post outlines concrete safety protections built into both the model and the app to address novel risks posed by a state-of-the-art video generation system. The framing positions safety as foundational to the product design rather than a post-hoc addition.
Sora 2 System Card
OpenAI has released Sora 2, a new state-of-the-art video and audio generation model that builds on the original Sora. Key improvements include more accurate physics simulation, sharper realism, synchronized audio generation, enhanced steerability, and broader stylistic range. The accompanying system card documents safety evaluations and deployment considerations for the model.
Sora 2 is here
OpenAI has released Sora 2, its latest video generation model, claiming improvements in physical accuracy, realism, and controllability over prior versions. The model introduces synchronized dialogue and sound effects as new capabilities. It is available through a new dedicated Sora app.
Creating with Sora Safely
OpenAI published a safety overview for Sora 2 and the Sora app, describing the safety measures built into both the video generation model and its associated social creation platform. The post outlines concrete protections designed to address novel risks posed by state-of-the-art video generation. This represents OpenAI's public safety framing for the Sora 2 launch.
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.
