What is Sora?
A text-to-video model developed by OpenAI, capable of generating highly realistic, extended video scenes that accurately simulate physical world dynamics.
Sora changed the landscape of AI video by demonstrating an understanding of how objects interact in the physical world. Using a diffusion transformer architecture, it can generate complex camera motions, consistent characters, and long-duration clips from simple text instructions, serving as a capable tool for filmmakers and creators.
How it relates to Orbit
Sivants Studio’s Video tab generates video with Kling, Veo and Wan rather than Sora. See Sivants Studio for details.
