OpenAI recently unveiled Sora, a groundbreaking AI tool capable of generating videos from text commands. From a text prompt, Sora can generate lifelike and creative scenes with detailed backgrounds, complex motions, and expressive personas. The new generative AI tool is intended as a foundation for future models to fully seize and recreate real-world interactions, a step closer to reaching 'Artificial General Intelligence' (AGI).

Sora's key features:

• Realistic video generation:Sora can produce videos that are realistic and imaginative based on the text instructions provided by the user. It can handle elaborate scenes involving multiple characters and distinct types of motion, ensuring precise details of the subjects and backgrounds.
• Understanding of the physical world:The model has a deep understanding of language and the physical world, allowing it to analyse prompts accurately and produce convincing characters that depict vibrant emotions. It can also create multiple shots within a single-generated video, sustaining character consistency and visual type.
• Video extension and animation:Sora can take an existing still image and animate its contents or expand an existing video by filling in missing frames, displaying its versatility in video production.
• Safety measures:OpenAI is taking safety precautions before making Sora broadly available. This means collaborating with red teamers to evaluate possible harms or threats and designing tools to identify misleading content. The model will also benefit from current safety measures used by DALL
