OpenAI ends Disney partnership, shuts Sora video app

OpenAI has ended its partnership with Disney and shut down its Sora video app. The decision comes less than two years after the artificial intelligence video tool was launched. The app had drawn wide attention across the media industry at the time of its release.

Details about the timing of the closure and the reasons for ending the partnership have not been provided. OpenAI and Disney had worked together following the app’s launch. The partnership had linked advanced AI video technology with a major entertainment company.

When Sora was introduced, it marked a significant moment for AI-generated video. The launch prompted discussion across film, television and digital media sectors. The closure now brings an early end to the project, less than two years after it began.
