However, it was previously inaccessible to users in the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Can SORA Do?<br><\/strong>Sora is capable of generating hyperrealistic scenes from just text prompts. Earlier, the tool was only available to media professionals like visual artists, designers, and filmmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OpenAI also has plans to \u201ceventually\u201d incorporate audio, which, according to the company, has the potential to make scenes generated by Sora sound and feel even more realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sora Likely to Be Priced Similar to OpenAI\u2019s DALL-E<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When questioned about the data used to train Sora, OpenAI\u2019s Chief Technology Officer, Mira Murati, provided vague responses, avoiding specifics. She stated that the model was trained on publicly available and licensed data but did not elaborate further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It remains unclear whether training data included videos from platforms like YouTube, Facebook, or Instagram. However, Murati confirmed that Sora exclusively uses image content from Shutterstock, an OpenAI partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also emphasized that operating Sora is significantly more expensive than OpenAI\u2019s previous AI models, such as DALL-E and ChatGPT. Despite this, the company plans to offer Sora to the public at a cost comparable to DALL-E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Web Desk: OpenAI has expanded access to its video generation model, Sora, making it available to users in the European Union, the U.K., Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland.
