Deprecated OpenAI video model

Best for:storytellingnarrative contentprofessional creators

Sora 2 was OpenAI's video and audio generation model, but the Sora product is no longer a safe active recommendation. Keep it in comparisons only as historical context or for existing-user migration checks, then shortlist current video tools such as Veo, Runway, Kling, Luma, or Pika for new work.
