OpenAI wants ChatGPT to generate videos now

OpenAI is working on adding its AI video tool, Sora, to ChatGPT.

Right now, Sora is only available as a separate web app, letting users create short, high-quality video clips.

It was originally aimed at creatives and video professionals, but OpenAI now wants to make it more widely available.

Rohan Sahai, OpenAI’s product lead for Sora, confirmed during a recent Q&A session that the company is actively working on this integration.

However, there’s no timeline yet - so you’ll be waiting a little longer.

The version inside ChatGPT may have fewer editing features compared to the standalone web app, where users can fine-tune and stitch together footage.

The move could bring more users to ChatGPT and encourage upgrades to paid plans, which may offer higher video generation limits.

From stills to cinema

OpenAI had originally kept Sora separate to keep ChatGPT simple, but now it’s rethinking that approach.

Sahai also mentioned that OpenAI is considering a Sora mobile app and is currently looking for engineers to help build it.

The company is also expanding Sora’s capabilities to AI-generated images, potentially improving photorealistic image creation.

Here’s what’s happening:

• Sora is coming to ChatGPT, but with fewer editing tools than the standalone version.

• A mobile app is in the works, and OpenAI is hiring engineers to develop it.

• Sora will also generate images, building on OpenAI’s existing AI image tools.

On top of that, OpenAI is working on an upgraded Sora Turbo model to improve video generation.
