New Delhi, March 25 -- ChatGPT maker OpenAI on Wednesday abruptly announced that it would be shutting down its AI video generator Sora, six months after the launch of its stand-alone app for creating hyper-realistic AI videos.

"To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you," the Sora team wrote in a post on X, adding, "What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing."

The Sora team, however, did not specify the exact date the app would cease to function. OpenAI also said that it would share guidelines with users on how to preserve their work.

"We'll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work," the Sora team said.
