About Sora
OpenAI's Sora was a text-to-video model capable of creating highly detailed and realistic video clips, including synchronized audio and complex camera motions, from textual or image prompts. The consumer-facing Sora app was shut down on April 26, 2026, and its API is scheduled for discontinuation on September 24, 2026, due to high computational costs and a strategic shift by OpenAI.
Why We Scored It 3/10
3/10
Sora was discontinued on April 26, 2026 due to unsustainable compute costs and lack of durable user base, despite initial high adoption. A discontinued product with declining position receives a poor score regardless of OpenAI's backing.
