Sora 2 — A New Era of AI-Generated Video

🎥 Introduction

In early 2024, the world was stunned by the release of Sora, OpenAI’s first text-to-video model capable of creating breathtakingly realistic clips from short prompts.

Now, in October 2025, Sora 2 has arrived — smarter, faster, and more cinematic.
It doesn’t just “render” motion; it understands physics, camera dynamics, and storytelling logic.

“Sora 2 is a step from videos to interactive worlds. The model doesn’t just read text — it understands reality.”
— Jonathan Wu, OpenAI Vision Team Engineer
