OpenAI Sora 2

Tietoja: OpenAI

Perustettu 2015 · San Francisco, USA

OpenAI was founded in December 2015 by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, Wojciech Zaremba, John Schulman, Andrej Karpathy and others. The company shipped Sora 1 in December 2024 inside ChatGPT and the standalone Sora app. Sora 2 launched in 2025 as the substantially upgraded successor: longer durations, much better physics, native synchronized audio (sound effects, music and dialogue) and an entirely new social product called the Sora app, which features a TikTok-like feed of user-generated AI clips and the 'cameo' feature that lets users insert their own and friends' likenesses into generated videos. Sora 2 cemented OpenAI's position alongside Google DeepMind's Veo 3 family as the frontier of consumer-accessible video generation in 2025.

Arkkitehtuuri

Diffusion Transformer on spacetime patches with joint audio-video diffusion

Sora 2 builds on the Sora 1 'spacetime patches' DiT architecture: a 3D causal VAE encodes video into a spatio-temporal latent and a transformer denoiser is trained on patches drawn from that latent. The headline architectural change is a joint audio-video diffusion pipeline that produces synchronized soundtrack -- including sound effects, ambient noise, music swells and short dialogue with lip-sync -- alongside the visual track. Sora 2 also adds an explicit 'cameo' conditioning channel that locks character identity to a user-provided reference video / images while enforcing OpenAI's identity-consent and impersonation policies. Native generation runs up to ~25-60 seconds depending on tier, at up to 1080p. Conditioning uses a GPT-family text encoder with dense recaptioning, plus optional image and video references. Public benchmark results and OpenAI's own internal evaluations report substantial gains over Sora 1 in motion fidelity, physical plausibility and prompt adherence.
