Sora is praised for its ability to create detailed scenes with multiple characters, specific motions, and realistic backgrounds. It can generate videos from still images, fill in missing frames, and extend existing videos. Although some videos show signs of AI with unrealistic movements, Sora’s overall results are impressive, with demos including scenes like the California gold rush and a perspective from a Tokyo train.

Recent advancements in video technology have been notable, with companies like Runway and Pika demonstrating text-to-video models. Google’s Lumiere is a prominent competitor, providing text-to-video features and the ability to generate videos from still images.

Access to Sora is currently restricted to “red teamers” assessing risks and a select group of visual artists, designers, and filmmakers for feedback. However, the model may have limitations in accurately representing complex physics or understanding certain cause-and-effect situations.
