About Sora
Sora was OpenAI's advanced text-to-video model, capable of generating high-quality, realistic video clips up to 60 seconds long with consistent physics and synchronized audio. The consumer app and web experience were shut down on April 26, 2026, and its API is scheduled for discontinuation on September 24, 2026, due to unsustainable economics and a strategic pivot.
Why We Scored It 2/10
2/10
Sora was discontinued on April 26, 2026 due to lack of monetization and high computing costs, with API access ending September 2026. Despite initial technical promise with Sora 2, the complete discontinuation makes it barely functional for users.
