OpenAI Sora does sound mind-blowing which will help creating one-minute long videos with the help of Artificial Intelligence. Microsoft-backed OpenAI on Thursday through its official handle announced that the company is working on a software that can generate minute-long videos based on text prompts.

Sora can create videos of up to 60 seconds featuring highly detailed scenes, complex camera motion, and multiple characters with vibrant emotions, as per official statement.

The software, called Sora, is currently available for red teaming, which helps identify flaws in the AI system, as well as for use by visual artists, designers and filmmakers to gain feedback on the model, the company said in a statement.  

The architecture operates on spacetime patches of video and image latent codes. Sora, our largest model, can produce one minute of high-definition video. Our findings imply that a viable approach to creating universal simulators of the real world is to scale video generating models.

Here are some of the key functionalities:

Capabilities: It can generate realistic and creative videos up to a minute long based on just your text descriptions. You can imagine a stylish woman walking down a neon-lit Tokyo streets, and Sora can bring that scene to life.

Technology: It utilizes a combination of diffusion models (starting with noise and gradually refining) and transformer architecture (similar to GPT models) to achieve its impressive results. This allows for efficient scaling and high-quality visuals.

Current stage: Sora is still under development and currently accessible to a limited group of testers and artists for feedback and improvement.

Future potential: The implications of this technology are vast, ranging from video editing and animation to storytelling and education. OpenAI is prioritizing responsible development and exploring ways to mitigate potential risks like the spread of misinformation.
