Text and image to video model
4.4 Bottom line: Sora is a strong video tool, best known for text to video clips. Paid from $20/mo.
Sora is OpenAI's video generation model that turns text prompts and reference images into short clips with synced audio. You access it through a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscription, and developers can call the Sora 2 model through the OpenAI API. The standalone Sora app was retired, so generation now runs inside the ChatGPT product.
