OpenAI has introduced Sora 2, an advanced text-to-video-and-audio model emphasizing physical plausibility, multi-shot controllability, and synchronized dialogue and sound effects, aiming for simulation-grade video generation. The model demonstrates significant improvements in world modeling, such as realistic object interactions and maintaining scene consistency across multiple shots, along with native, time-aligned audio generation, positioning it for more sophisticated applications beyond single-clip synthesis. Complementing this, OpenAI launched an invite-only Sora iOS app in the U.S. and Canada that enables social creation and remixing through verified likeness came
