OpenAI Boosts ChatGPT Plus with Text-to-Video AI to Lead the Competition

OpenAI’s text-to-video AI is now available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users. This is the company’s first step into multimodal AI, making the competition with Stability AI, Google, and Meta tougher.

OpenAI announced on Monday that it has made its AI model that turns text into video available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users. This is the company’s first step into multimodal AI technologies.

With the release of its ChatGPT chatbot in November 2022, the Microsoft-backed company ignited a generative AI craze. It now aims to compete with Stability AI’s Stable Video Diffusion and Google and Meta’s text-to-video tools.

Only safety testers were able to use the AI model, known as Sora, during its research preview phase in February. ChatGPT Plus and Pro users can now use Sora Turbo for free.

In a blog post, the company said, “We’re working on customized pricing for different types of users, which we plan to make available early next year.”

Users can make videos with a resolution of up to 1080p that are 20 seconds long and can have a widescreen, vertical, or square aspect ratio.

Sora Launch Exclusions

Sora will not be available in the EU, Switzerland, or the UK yet, but OpenAI will make it available in other ChatGPT countries.

The company also announced that it will not allow the creation or uploading of harmful forms of abuse, such as child sexual abuse materials and sexual deepfakes, on Sora. This is to prevent individuals from abusing the platform.

At launch, we will limit the number of uploads, but we plan to expand the feature to more users as we improve our deepfake mitigations.
