OpenAI · Sora
OpenAI's current Sora generation for cinematic text/image-to-video creation in product and API workflows.
Overview
Freshness note: Model capabilities, limits, and availability can change quickly. This profile is a point-in-time snapshot last verified on February 28, 2026.
Sora 2 is OpenAI’s current documented Sora generation for high-fidelity video generation from text and image inputs. It targets creative and product teams that need fast iteration on concept videos, short-form scenes, and previsualization assets.
Capabilities
Sora 2 is designed for prompt-driven video synthesis with support for iterative creative direction. It is useful for motion ideation, campaign concept testing, and early edit planning before traditional production resources are committed.
Technical Details
Sora 2 is video-native, so token-based context and output limits are not the primary published constraints. In this repository, contextWindow and maxOutput are intentionally set to 0 and interpreted as N/A.
Pricing & Access
OpenAI documents Sora model availability across platform surfaces and references Sora model support in API model listings. Pricing and quota policy are product-surface dependent and can change, so verify current OpenAI documentation before production rollout.
Best Use Cases
Best for short-form concept videos, storyboard-to-motion iteration, ad creative previsualization, and teams that need video generation in the same provider ecosystem as OpenAI text/image tooling.
Comparisons
Compared with Veo 3, Sora 2 tradeoffs typically center on provider ecosystem fit, motion style, and available workflow controls. Compared with grok-imagine-video-1212, Sora 2 is often chosen when teams already rely on OpenAI routing for adjacent workloads.
