You open the mobile and, in a few seconds, you see yourself inside a scene that did not exist a minute ago: you are the protagonist of a clip that seems really shot, with movements and rebounds that feel coherent. Mechanics has no mystery, you record a brief take to capture your voice and face, and the app “place” on stage. The striking thing is the feeling of control, you can chain planes and maintain the state of the world without anything falling. There begins the game of Sora 2.
To understand what Sora 2 supposes to look back. The road opened in 2022, when Chatgpt He placed the generation of text at the center of the technological debate. That impulse gave way to image models and, in February 2024, to Sora’s first versiona prototype that already showed permanence of objects and some visual coherence. The competition soon react: Runway with his Gen-4 and other projects marked the pattern of a market in full boiling that now receives a new chapter.
What’s new in Sora 2. Openai describes this model as a jump comparable to that in its day GPT-3.5 was for the text. The big difference is in physical loyalty: if a ball fails the hoop, bounces on the board instead of teleporting, a common error in previous systems. You can also maintain the status of a scene between plans and follow more complex instructions. In addition to video, it generates voices, effects and sound landscapes, which makes it a much more complete video-audio tool.
The app: Cameos, Remix and Feed. Together with the model An application arrives Designed to use it social code. After a rapid face and voice verification, the user can be inserted as cameo in any scene and share the result with their contacts. The app allows you to remix videos of others and navigate a Feed which adjusts to preferences through natural language. Openai ensures that the experience is designed to encourage joint creation, not passive consumption, and that it opens under invitation in iOS.
Welfare and security: controls and limits. The company led by Sam Altman He insists that his application does not seek to catch the user in an infinite scroll. It is designed to prioritize known people and encourage creation more than consumption. Base restrictions are applied for adolescents, as a limited number of generations and stricter permits in cameos. To this are added parental controls from chatgpt and the possibility of revoking any use of your image. There will also be human moderators for cases of harassment.
Is it free? As we say, the application of Sora 2 gradually opens in iOS, with an initial deployment in the United States and Canada. Openai promises to extend it to more countries, although for now it is not available in Spain. Access requires invitation and can also be requested from the Sora.com website. The service starts free of charge, with use limits that depend on “the computing capacity.” In addition, the subscribers of Chatgpt Pro, the 200 dollars per monthThey have access to a Sora 2 version with higher quality, and the company plans to enable the model via API.
Some failures remain. Among the spread examples appear anime fighting, explorers that shout under a snowbird or acrobatics that respect rigidity and flotation. The model manages to give the impression that the failures belong to the character himself, not to the algorithm. It also allows you to insert a real person into a scene with recognizable voice and appearance. Even so, Openai admits that errors abound and that general coherence is far from perfect, although it considers that the progress with respect to Sora 1 is evident.
Sora 2 raises a scenario in which videos cease to be just a consumer product and become a shared game space. The key is in that ability to turn anyone into the protagonist of a clip ready to circulate. It may be a fashion of short duration or inaugurate a more participatory creativity stage. What seems clear is that Openai has returned to place the focus on the daily user, with a proposal designed to trigger waves of viral content.
