Imagine taking a sentence like “A cat leaps gracefully through a field of flowers chasing a butterfly,” and instantly seeing that sentence come to life as a short video.

What is Open AI Sora?

Here’s the breakdown for those unfamiliar with technical terms:

Instead of words, it speaks in pixels: Normally, computers understand and work with data as numbers. Sora is different. It’s been trained on a massive dataset of text and video pairs, learning how to translate written descriptions into visual information like colors, shapes, movements, and even lighting.
