WhatAI OpenAI Sora 2 (Deprecated) Forum Discussions
OpenAI Sora 2 is a deprecated video and synced-audio generation model available through OpenAI's Videos API for a limited final period. It can create short clips from text or image references, preserve reusable non-human characters, extend completed clips, apply targeted edits, and deliver MP4 files plus preview assets. OpenAI discontinued the Sora web and app experiences on April 26, 2026. The Sora 2 models and Videos API are scheduled to shut down on September 24, 2026, and OpenAI currently lists no recommended replacement. This makes Sora relevant mainly to existing API users completing projects, exporting assets, and migrating away before the deadline, rather than teams choosing a new long-term video platform.
