OpenAI has terminated its social media platform, Sora, which featured exclusively AI-generated videos. The company announced the discontinuation of the platform just months after its launch, following issues with copyright infringement and deepfakes. The original Sora model was introduced in December 2025 and launched in the US and Canada with a text-to-video AI model that could generate moving images based on user prompts. The Walt Disney Co. had also signed a three-year deal with OpenAI to bring its iconic characters to the platform for use in AI video and invest $1 billion in OpenAI. While the Sora research team will continue to focus on world simulation research and helping solve real-world tasks.
