India, Oct. 1 -- OpenAI has announced the launch of Sora 2 with a new Instagram-like app for creating and sharing realistic AI videos. The new app, called "Sora", is powered by Sora 2 - OpenAI's next-generation model with improved realism, physics, and instruction-following.

Using the Sora app, you can create lifelike AI avatars of yourself. These avatars - which OpenAI calls "cameos" - can be transported into any scenario you can imagine. For example, using the Sora 2 model, you can make your cameo wrestle an elephant or play volleyball on a beach. All of this can be done using just text prompts.

The Sora iOS app is available to download in the US and Canada. OpenAI has said it intends to quickly expand to additional countries.
