Sora 2
OpenAI’s Sora 2 is the latest video and audio generation model, offering more realism, controllability, and synchronized dialogue than previous systems.
AI Video & Audio Generation Platform
What is Sora 2?
Sora 2 is OpenAI’s advanced model for creating both video and audio content from prompts. It improves on the original Sora with better physics, more accurate world consistency, synchronized dialogue, and integrated sound effects.
The model is used in a new Sora app, where users can generate, remix, and share video content—and even insert themselves (via cameos) into generated scenes after recording a short verification clip.
You can also inject real-world elements (humans, objects, animals) into generated scenes with high fidelity in appearance and voice.
Key Features
- Improved Physical Realism
Unlike older models that distort reality, Sora 2 better respects physics (e.g. ball rebounds instead of teleporting). - Controllable Scene Instructions
The model can follow more complex, multi-shot prompts with consistency in world state and objects. - Synchronized Dialogue & Sound Effects
It generates matching speech, soundscapes, and effects aligned with the visuals. - Cameo & Likeness Uploads
Users can upload a short video/audio to “embed” themselves or someone else into generated scenes. - New Sora App Environment
A social app experience where you can create, remix videos, follow creators, and participate in feeds. - Responsible & Safety-Focused Launch
OpenAI includes tools to manage feed experience, parental controls, and user control over likeness usage.
