727 FinancePANews October 12 news, according to The Information, OpenAI is exploring the possibility of relaunching the Sora video generation model and is in talks with a stealth startup focused on AI video technology for filmmaking.
The report says OpenAI had previously paused development of the Sora model and its accompanying TikTok-like video app as part of a plan to cut high-server-consumption "side projects." Meanwhile, competitors such as xAI and Google continue to push forward with AI video generation technology.
Sources say a startup currently developing AI video tools for the filmmaking sector may partner with OpenAI to help bring Sora-related technology back to market.
After its release in 2024, Sora attracted widespread attention for its text-to-video capabilities and sparked extensive exploration of AI-generated video applications. If this potential collaboration moves forward, it could mean OpenAI is once again increasing its investment in the AI video generation field.
