OpenAI Launches Sora Video Generator for ChatGPT Pro and Plus Subscribers
In a significant development, OpenAI has announced the launch of Sora, its cutting-edge video generator, exclusively for ChatGPT Pro and Plus subscribers. This innovative tool enables users to create stunning videos from text prompts or images, revolutionizing the way we interact with AI.
Key Features of Sora
Sora Turbo, the version launching today, boasts an impressive array of features, including:
– Generation of clips between 5 seconds and 20 seconds in length
– Support for various aspect ratios and resolutions
– Ability to create videos from text prompts or images
– Editing capabilities via the Re-mix tool
– Storyboard interface for sequencing videos
– Blend tool for combining two videos
Pricing and Credits
To generate videos with Sora, users will require credits, which vary depending on the resolution and duration. ChatGPT Plus and Pro plans provide 1,000 and 10,000 credits, respectively, which reset monthly without rollovers. Pricing for videos generated with Sora ranges from 20 to 2,000 credits, depending on the resolution and duration.
Availability and Restrictions
While Sora is an exciting development, it’s worth noting that it won’t be available in the European Union, at least initially. OpenAI has cited the need for additional external reviews to ensure compliance with local regulations. This isn’t the first time OpenAI has delayed the launch of a feature in the EU; earlier this year, the company’s Advanced Voice Mode was rolled out in phases, with EU users gaining access later.
The Future of AI-Generated Content
As AI technology continues to advance, we can expect to see more innovative tools like Sora emerge. However, the complexities of data privacy regulations in the EU and other regions may continue to pose challenges for tech companies. As the AI landscape evolves, it’s essential for companies to prioritize compliance and transparency while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI-generated content.
