OpenAI launched an invite-only social app for iOS called Sora. It's powered by Sora 2, their latest video generation model. Just in the U.S. and Canada for now "with the intent to quickly expand to additional countries"

"We think Sora is going to bring a lot of joy, creativity and connection to the world."

I think it sounds like a new way to vanish some hours with your face in a screen. Anyway, if you download the Sora app, sign up for the wait list, and get an invitation, then you can also access Sora 2 on sora.com (also available if you have ChatGPT Pro, and coming soon to the API).

"Sora 2 will initially be available for free, with generous limits to start"

The announcement blog has more about privacy, protecting teens, and how they think it's a much better social app than other social apps. They also published a "Sora feed philosophy."
