Sora Turbo: ten months after the demo, OpenAI opens Sora to the public
In one sentence On December 9, 2024, during the 12 Days of OpenAI, Sora Turbo arrives on sora.com for ChatGPT Plus and Pro subscribers: video from 480p to 1080p and up to 20 seconds, with Remix, Re-cut, Loop, Blend and Storyboard. The EU/EEA, UK and Switzerland are excluded at launch.
In February 2024 OpenAI had shown the first Sora demos, with videos up to one minute long generated from a sentence. Then for ten months the model stayed closed.
On December 9, 2024 Sora reaches the public in a version called Sora Turbo, faster than the model shown in February. It is used from sora.com with a ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20/month, limited quota and lower resolution) or Pro ($200/month, up to 1080p and 20 seconds, more generations).
Besides text-to-video you can animate images, edit a video with a new prompt (Remix), extend the best frames (Re-cut), create loops, merge two videos (Blend) and assemble several scenes in sequence with Storyboard. At launch the service is not available in the European Union, the UK and Switzerland.
