OpenAI’s Sora 2 Unveiled: 10-Second AI Videos with Sound & Selfie Cameos
What is Sora 2? Sora 2 is OpenAI’s flagship video-and-audio generation model, building on the original Sora released in late 2024. It accepts text (and optionally images or videos) and outputs short videos with high-fidelity visuals and sound. According to OpenAI, Sora 2 is “more physically accurate, realistic, and controllable than prior systems,” and it synchronizes dialogue, sound effects, and background audio with generated video openai.com. In practical terms, Sora 2 can handle complex scenes that obey real-world physics (gymnastics routines, paddleboard flips with correct buoyancy, realistic ball rebounds, etc.) that earlier models could not consistently simulate openai.com venturebeat.com.
