Open AI SORA is Public! | First Impressions & Thoughts

[@RMCanimationOFFICAL]

IT’S BEEN 78 YEARS

[@rayanbenlakdame]

He hasnt uploaded in 78 years, 34 weeks and 3 days. He has finally returned

[@armondtanz]

780 .... there I fixed it 😂

[@DonZa-n6z]

Dawg, we can't even sign up...

[@insurancecasino5790]

LOL!

[@majesticmythology]

83 actually

[@GabrieloTomorrow]

It's weird how OpenAI lost the opportunity to release SORA back when it could have been the top model without any doubt. It's still a very impressive model, but I'm not sure if I would call it the "best" when compared to all the others. The other problem is that making HD videos with SORA is quite expensive, at least for now. I'm convinced that Open-Source models are the future; they just need to get better and fast enough so you can run them with any graphics card.

[@domehouse79]

It’s terrible

[@shaunralston]

Sora "add-on credits" will be coming. Great video, Matt.

[@armondtanz]

50 is still whack. I worked out most have 90-120 p/m for around $30

[@krisDag17]

I agree that Sora is similar to Minimax, Kiling and video AI generated video in terms of quality. I ran few prompts myself and I found alot of morphing and other issues. Also Text to video seems to be what OpenAI has made as it primary use case in its design. The reality is image to video and even video to video are more important use cases. It seems it's current policy make those features difficult or impossible to use with Sora. Unless that changes, I don't think Sora is going to be much of factor in AI video generation space.

[@SirajFlorida]

How did you get access to sora? I've been buying openAI products since they first opened billing... API, gptpro... doesn't matter. Not in the club still.

[@skulltrick]

Open AI will be remembered as the Yahoo equivalent of search engines

[@vainezaiven6677]

Lol, yeah.

[@NoobieSnake]

Lol gg. That’s sad.

[@phen-themoogle7651]

You're so good at making videos! Only been out a few hours and you already got this up, nice job! xD

[@erikburzinski8248]

open AI tends to be better at understanding text and dealing with things like "make anything except elephants" and I want to see if that applies to sora as well

[@TheRemarkableN]

Sora was first announced in the Before Times

[@AmphibiousWarrior573]

Maybe one day we will be able put on VR, input any world you like, then live in it. I think people will never leave en masse.

[@justinsomnia2967]

You can escape reality, but you can not escape the consequences of escaping reality.

[@AmphibiousWarrior573]

@justinsomnia2967 True. I just don't think people will care though.

[@mono5401]

This is how I see corporations monopolising ideal AI realities, they charge you a lot of money so you’re dependent on them

[@icholakov]

they have more features and functionality to release in the $200 plan thats why. at some point they hope the $200 will include so much that it will be a great value propositions

[@JeSSe.M.CuLVeR]

Functionality should not be an extra charge.

[@FesteringRatSub]

The Good thing is open source will win eventually in all AI areas

[@Ovyron]

I hope so, I tried all of them and they couldn't reach Dalle 3's creativity yet.

[@MemePopperz]

I am very glad Sora is finally released.. but I am a simple person and I want AI to be free...I was very disappointed when I heard Sora is for paid users only...I mean they could at least keep a limit for free users...look at Minimax ai, Runway gen 3 alpha turbo, Luma ai, Kling ai, all have a limit for free users...so that all can access Ai...Really disappointed to hear this

[@MemePopperz]

Thanks a lot Matt for reviewing! and giving a heart to my comment

[@you-are-the-tharpsters]

I am a user who is on plus version but I can’t load sora because sign up is unavailable as tooo much people are on it

[@MetaphoricMinds]

basically, it's early access for those who jumped right on. The rest of us still have to wait due to "unexpected delays"

[@CommentGuard717]

[@corysteiner1218]

@@phen-themoogle7651 They were saying in the announcement video a 5-second priority video should take only seconds to create. Obviously that's not the case right now with the servers being overloaded. Time will tell if that holds true though.

We got Sora before GTA6!

[@sylversoul88]

Well actually no. As usual, most people are saying it is not available for them at all, and what is available, for those that it is, is very limited and not representative of what has been shown, like using the story boards. It has low resolution and unless you want to pay $200 per month 😮 you are basically limited to making less than two five second videos per day 😂 (50 per month). And this is 10 months after they announced Sora 😂😂😂 OpenAi is a joke

[@NotYoutube-cp3qg]

its for the rich to get richer, 200$ aint poor mans affordability

[@NoobieSnake]

At $200/mo, for 5 months, you can get a pretty decent graphics card to run open source models on your own computer.

[@JeSSe.M.CuLVeR]

RIGHT! And here's the thing. Basically doing a product release (which ALWAYS has a few hiccups) you want your top people on site ready to problem-solve. It seems like poor management choices. The pressure on day 3 of 12 that the techs must be under..

[@francoislanctot2423]

Is it possible to upscale a 720 p video to 1280 p using Topaz Video?

[@NighttimeJuneau]

These p numbers are vertical resolution, do you mean 720p to 1080p? Sure, Topaz can upscale anything to anything. The bigger the gap, the worse your result. This upscale wouldn’t be a big step though, you could get decent results.

[@jayestrada2837]

Compare to most video creators, Sora is dead last in the AI race since most video creators had gain experience from the public interaction which led to growth and development making them a unstoppable force against Sora. The Pay wall will limit and restricted Sora growth and development and most people aren't willing to pay $200 monthly subscription for something they get for less the price. Unless Sora offers a remix function that allows to edit videos then Sora is another nothing burger like Stable Diffusion 3 to Google Gemini.

[@dingusmoped]

ClosedAI, thank you. I'm happy to jump up another $180 to next tier. Great price grading...

[@erikburzinski8248]

50 is bearly enough to understand the models eccentricities I would need at least 1000 prompts to experiment with it to fully understand how different types of words with it.

Altman regarded SORA as GPT-1, suggesting there is vast potential for further development and improvement.

[@DanBarbatti]

I am getting pretty decent speed at generation at for about the last 30 minutes or so. However My hope that I could sequence actions in story board is not working. It is basically behaving it was all coming from a single prompt generation instead of the video "extension" I was hoping for. Also as to the $200 price tag for pro.. it all comes down to whether you can make $200 plus in profits from the unlimited use as far as I am concerned. Or I guess if you are crazy rich and 200 is a drop in the bucket LOL

[@peacetoall1858]

Mochi, LTX , or Hunyuan + STG on a local PC or online server = pretty decent videos at much lower costs. Otherwise Runway's $95 unlimited plan is pretty good too.

[@MarcoServetto]

Even If I'm not stoned, this is just trippy. I foresee a lot of hallucinogenic use combined with this.

[@youtube_fantastic]

Literally better than the MKBHD review and you don't even have access. I feel like he missed the mark Matt. I wish OpenAI had given advanced access to you.

[@m3nafsy]

8:41 I disagree with you here because this is smart of them because at this moment instead of searching for the user who pays $20 a month among millions of users if he did something wrong Now you will be able to search for him among the people who pay $200 a month, which I am sure is not a large number of people, even if it was a million people, it would be much easier to search a million instead of 5 million people, for example.

[@kbcproductions]

$200 a month is way too much when looking at the competition. I’ll stick with Kling and Minimax for now.

[@Rolyataylor2]

I'd like to see an OpenAi messaging app or a keyboard for Android

[@jamesisadude9187]

Account creation has been paused. When I just checked. Who knows when they will reenable it.

[@GlobalAiWorkers]

Underwhelming debut for Sora despite the manufactured hype, at this point I don't see how it is better than Kling or any of the multitude of other text to video software. Sora waited too long, the competition has caught up, and in some case probably surpassed them!

[@ScienceRaven1138-du1mw]

Sora preview made 25 other companies invest in their technology with months of advance and nullify the research. Good job ALTMAN!!! heheh. AOL2 hehe.

[@JohnSmith762A11B]

I'm not sure it's greed driving some of these limitations, but rather reflects the reality that OpenAI has to deliver this service at a scale orders of magnitude greater than any of its pipsqueak competitors. The hitch with Sora from the beginning has always been: "sure, but how are you going to deliver this at scale?" It will probably take a couple of years for a lot of these limits to relax as GPU power increases and people get used to Sora just being something in the world they may use occasionally.

[@lzmihich]

It is too f... Expensive,! Please talk about the inpainting and video to video features , whenever you can. This Sora feature alone , if similar to the first announcement demo , can make possible a project of mine, already shot , replacing background, etc.

[@BroskiPlays]

Give it a couple months and it will be perfect when OpenAI adds additional pricing options

[@ActionFalko]

Not in Europe so far :- (

[@linkfucho]

Sora first anouncement also was the trigger to making moves from the other companies. So Sora sh00t himself. Open AI from passing the time it's less Open and more Greedy

[@erikburzinski8248]

I just want them to let me watch adds to pay them

[@jasoncline1980]

I 100% have no interest in Sora anymore at least as it is currently. To expensive and not any better than other generators. Maybe they have more to offer down the road but I'd rather pay for a high end GPU ( I have a higher end consumer one now but thinking about upgrading to run on my own PC. I also will go with whoever strips off all of the excessive restrictions. If I want to make a short horror video of a turkey wielding a chainsaw running though a family at Thanksgiving and cutting them all up to seek revenge for his fallen brother I don't want sorry against our guidelines messages ( or some other kind of censorship restrictions) .

the 'safety' excuse just isn't going to work for people that aren't using this tech casually.

When it comes to creativity, mine is on the floor. I wish I had this when I was a kid. I love AI, but I think I'm overwhelmed at this point. For those who only use the free plans, it's a bit of a disappointment not to have access to Sora, at least to try it. But then again, as time goes by, AI keeps getting better and better. The quality is unstoppable, and every day there's a new advancement or model ready to beat the previous one. There are always those who are kind enough to offer free access, so not being able to use Sora for free as someone poor like me, doesn't bother me that much. I'm not a content creator, and my future isn't about making AI videos for a living. At this point in my life, I just want to have fun, and I'm glad that open-source creators are willing to share the power of AI with everyone.
