OpenAI has expanded its AI-powered video generation app, Sora, to Android users after a successful iOS launch. This app allows users to create hyperreal videos from text prompts, with styles ranging from cinematic to cartoon.
App Features and Functionality
Sora offers users several creative options, including a vertical discovery feed and the innovative Cameo feature. This allows users to embed their image and become part of an AI-generated video. Video styles include cinematic, animated, photorealistic, and cartoon.
Availability and Access
The Android version of Sora is available in seven countries: the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. It remains invite-only, requiring a code for access.
Launch and Metrics
- Sora launched on iOS before Android.
- 1 million downloads were reached within five days on iOS.
- Available to Android users as of its latest release.
The company has also been focusing on improving its handling of deepfakes and copyright issues as part of its ongoing development efforts.
