OpenAI says it has no plans to release an API for Sora, its AI model that may produce reasonably realistic videos when given a text description or reference image.
During an AMA with members of the OpenAI development team, Romain Huet, head of developer experience at OpenAI, said that a Sora API is currently out of the query. “We don’t have any plans for a Sora API yet,” he said wrote.
The reason could possibly be capability problems. OpenAI was forced to shut applications for its Sora-based video creation and editing suite shortly after launch resulting from heavier-than-expected traffic. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman apologized on

“We significantly underestimated the demand for Sora,” he said wrote. “It will take some time for everybody to have access. I’m attempting to determine easy methods to do it as quickly as possible!”
OpenAI resumed registrations for Sora a number of days ago.
The decision to not prioritize an API for Sora threatens to place OpenAI at a drawback in comparison with one in every of its fundamental competitors, Google, which introduced a limited-access API for its video generation model Veo in early December. Google announced this week that Veo's successor, Veo 2, which went viral for its impressively high-quality output, will receive an API sometime in 2025.
AWS has an API for its recently launched Nova Reel video model. And quite a lot of startups focused on generative video offer APIs for his or her models. An organization, runway, Claims that its API has been utilized by “the world’s largest consumer technology corporations to reliably generate tens of millions of videos for his or her users.”
