OpenAI Sora 2 at a glance
Sora 2 generates video with dialogue and sound effects and more realistic physics, and launched in an invite-based iOS app in the US and Canada with a consent-based characters feature.
What changed with OpenAI Sora 2
On September 30, 2025, OpenAI released Sora 2, its flagship video and audio generation model. OpenAI said it is more physically accurate and controllable than earlier systems, for example showing a missed basketball shot rebound instead of teleporting into the hoop, and it generates synchronized speech, background sound and effects.
It launched with a new invite-based iOS social app called Sora in the US and Canada, where people can create and remix videos and, with permission, insert themselves or friends through a characters feature after a short recording. Sora 2 started free with usage limits, ChatGPT Pro users got an experimental Sora 2 Pro on sora.com, and OpenAI said an API would follow.
Why OpenAI Sora 2 matters for businesses
For businesses, Sora 2 made realistic short video with sound accessible to anyone, which is useful for concept ads and social content but raises the stakes on likeness consent, copyright and clear labeling of AI-generated media.
