We have some breaking news that OpenAI is going to discontinue their video service SORA, their video model.

0:06.9

There was a post from the official SORA account that said we're saying goodbye to the SORA app.

0:12.4

Today on the podcast is going to be breaking down everything happening with the discontinuation of this,

0:16.4

why this had so many people shocked and where we can expect AI and video to go forward in the future

0:21.5

and maybe what some of the early warning signs were for this to begin with. I'm sure some people

0:26.7

are celebrating. Some people have other mixed opinions. We're we breaking down everything that's

0:30.6

being said on X about this as well. So let's get into it. But I wanted to say before we do,

0:36.1

as you probably know, I recently added video to my

0:39.1

own platform, AIbox.AI, for video generation. And we actually have the SORA model on there. So

0:44.5

before it is deleted, before the API is gone forever, if you want to try out the SORA AI video model,

0:50.8

this may be your last chance. You can go for $899 a month. You can go check out

0:55.7

AIbox.AI. Get access to SORA and over 70 different AI models, including everything from

1:01.1

GROC to Gemini to chat GPT to all of the top AI image audio video models. And it's $899 a month.

1:09.3

So there's a link in the description to AIbox.AI. If you want to go try it out, I'll leave it linked down there. All right, let's talk about what's happening with SORA. So the official SORA account, which is SORA official app over on X, tweeted out a couple hours ago and said, we're saying goodbye to the SOR app to everyone who created with Sora, shared it and built community around it. Thank you. What you made with SORA mattered, and we know this

1:31.1

news is disappointing. We'll share more soon, including timelines for the app and the API and

1:36.3

details on preserving your work, the SORA team. Which is, what's interesting there is, I mean,

1:41.6

they basically spelled out, you know, saying as far as like timelines, It's not like what the future holds for the app or the API. It's like the timeline, aka they're going to kill the SORA app. They're going to kill the API as well, which, I mean, personally, it's kind of annoying since I just recently got the API. I'll linked in with my own startup, but we'll just have to make some plans for killing that out. The top comment on this comes from Curiano, who says, this is insane. Do you all know what you're throwing away here? Are we going to open source it, or at least? I think, honestly, that would be an amazing future for this product. You know, Open AI probably could do some, you know know they can make a lot of developers happy if

2:18.1

they open source it but i highly doubt they will because i'm sure part of their reason here is they're

2:22.1

like oh look people are making AI slop i also think that they're the that's probably like

2:26.0

the excuse that they'll use even though there's like a hundred other AI models um but the real

2:30.9

reason why they're getting rid of it, I think is probably a little bit more

2:34.5

interesting. But before we get into that, I wanted to read a little excerpt from the Wall Street
