Sora App Shuts Down

The Sora app is shutting down, marking an end for the creative platform. The Sora Team announced the closure, expressing gratitude to its user base.

Users who created, shared, and built communities around the app were thanked for their contributions. The team acknowledged that this news will be disappointing for many.

Future Plans

Further information regarding timelines for the app and its API is forthcoming. Details on how users can preserve their work are also expected soon.

X.com user "shirish" is dropping insider knowledge on the event. He says the closure was attributed to runaway costs of operating the viral app.

"Each 10-second video cost them around $1.30 to make." He goes on to explain the startup was burning $10-15 million daily on operating the app, and that the GPU resources will be diverted to ChatGPT and Codex inference demands.

shirish also claims the Disney deal with OpenAI fell through.
