OpenAI is releasing Sora Turbo, an upgraded version of their text-to-video 📹 AI model, to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users through Sora.com. This release moves the technology from research preview to a standalone product, offering higher resolution capabilities and longer video durations.
The details
The new model generates videos up to 1080p resolution and 20 seconds in length, supporting widescreen, vertical, and square formats. Users can create content from text prompts or blend existing assets using new interface tools, including a storyboard feature for frame-by-frame control.
Sora is included in ChatGPT Plus subscriptions with a monthly limit of 50 videos at 480p or fewer videos at 720p. A Pro plan offers 10x more usage, higher resolutions, and longer durations, with customized pricing planned for early 2025.
Safety features include C2PA metadata for transparency, visible watermarks, and an internal search tool to verify Sora-generated content. The platform restricts uploads of people and blocks harmful content, with specific measures against child sexual abuse materials and sexual deepfakes.
Why it matters
This release represents a significant step toward AI that understands and simulates reality. By making Sora widely available now, OpenAI aims to give society time to develop appropriate norms and safeguards while the technology evolves. Despite current limitations in physics simulation and processing speed, this deployment opens new possibilities for creative expression and video storytelling while addressing safety and ethical concerns through built-in protections.
