Sora 2 was OpenAI's video model. It turned a text prompt or a photo into a short clip with synced dialogue, sound effects and ambience, and Sora 2 Pro was its higher-quality version.

OpenAI announced the end of Sora on March 24, 2026. The Sora app and website closed on April 26, 2026, and the Sora 2 models and the Videos API were switched off on September 24, 2026, with no replacement from OpenAI. New Sora 2 videos can no longer be made anywhere.

The models that took over do more. Veo 3.1 makes video with native sound at up to 4K, where Sora 2 Pro topped out at 1080p. Veo 3.1 and Kling can aim for a last frame you choose, where Sora 2 started from a first frame only, and Kling adds motion transfer, the engine behind AI dance. Seedance is the fast way to try an idea. All three run in Luren AI today.
