OpenAI, the leading company in generative artificial intelligence, has presented its new model called Sora, capable of creating realistic and imaginative videos from text instructions. Sora is a “Text to Video” model that can generate videos of up to one minute in length, maintaining visual quality and coherence with the user’s text.
Sora is a creative tool that opens up new possibilities for multimedia content creation, from movies and video games to education and advertising. Sora can generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of movement and accurate details of the subject and background. The model understands not only what the user has requested in the text, but also how those things exist in the physical world, according to OpenAI.
The model has a deep knowledge of language, which allows it to accurately interpret the indications and generate convincing characters that express vibrant emotions, explains the company. In addition, Sora can extend the generated videos to make them longer, adding transitions and variations.
OpenAI has shown some examples of the videos created by Sora on its website1, where you can see realistic scenes of a woman walking down a street in Tokyo or a drone flying over the coast of California, as well as imaginative scenes of a space man with a wool helmet or a paper world with a coral reef.
The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has announced the launch of Sora on the social network X, where he has invited his followers to make text suggestions to generate new videos. Altman has said that they offer access to a limited number of creators, and that they hope that Sora will be a useful and fun tool to explore the potential of artificial intelligence.
Sora joins the family of creative tools from OpenAI, which includes ChatGPT, a language model that can generate texts of all kinds, from poems and songs to code and essays. OpenAI is a company that has the mission of creating and disseminating artificial intelligence that benefits humanity, without being limited by commercial or control purposes.
