BURSTChatGPT producer OpenAI rolled out a video creation tool this week that lets paying customers create short-length video clips through text prompts.
OpenAI introduced Sora, a video generation model, on Monday. It can generate realistic videos in a resolution up to 1080p and up to 20 seconds long.
The beta version of Sora was initially announced in February.
Sora is available to users with a Plus account at no extra cost. The tool is able to generate up to 50 videos each month at 480p resolution. Those with a Pro plan will be able to generate videos with higher resolutions and longer durations.
“The version of Sora we are deploying has many limitations. It often generates unrealistic physics and struggles with complex actions over long durations,” OpenAI said. “Although Sora Turbo is much faster than the February preview, we’re still working to make the technology affordable for everyone.”
“We’re introducing our video generation technology now to give society time to explore its possibilities and co-develop norms and safeguards that ensure it’s used responsibly as the field advances,” the artificial intelligence (AI) company added.
OpenAI is not the first AI company to release a tool that can generate videos through text commands, but Sora’s deployment will be on the radar of millions of potential users.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Monday that the company is looking to avert the illegal use of Sora, "but we also want to balance that with creative expression," he added, multiple outlets reported.
Sora will be available around the globe, besides the United Kingdom and Europe, likely due to recent regulations on the Continent, Euronews reported.
