OpenAI запускает Sora 2 — новейший аналог TikTok с продвинутыми функциями Translation: OpenAI launches Sora 2 — the latest TikTok alternative with advanced features

OpenAI has unveiled Sora 2, an enhanced version of its audio and video generator. Alongside this, the company launched a social app called Sora, allowing users to create videos featuring themselves and their friends, which can be shared in a TikTok-style algorithmic feed.

The application is available for download on iOS, but it is currently invite-only in the United States and Canada. Users can sign up and await a push notification regarding the launch. In the initial phase, priority access is given to ChatGPT Pro subscribers.

For Android users, access to Sora 2 will be available through the website sora.com after obtaining an invite code.

The company showcased examples of the new neural network’s capabilities. It adheres better to the laws of physics, resulting in more realistic videos.

“The model is more physically accurate and realistic than previous systems, marking a significant advancement in controllability. It also now features synchronized sound,” the company stated.

The blog noted that earlier neural networks tended to be “overly optimistic” — they could distort objects and alter reality to successfully execute prompts. For instance, if a basketball player missed a shot, the ball might suddenly teleport into the hoop. In Sora 2, it will bounce off the backboard.

The new app includes a feature called cameos, which allows users to insert themselves into various scenes. These video creations can then be shared with friends.

“We believe that a social application built around the cameos feature is the best way to experience the magic of Sora 2,” the company wrote.

To generate algorithmic recommendations, OpenAI will take into account user activity in Sora, geographical location (determined by IP address), and interaction history with posts, as well as conversations in ChatGPT — although users can opt-out of this feature.

Sora 2 and the Sora app have been created with safety measures in mind. The company reported the use of watermarks and metadata for each video’s origin, ownership rights for images, balanced content protection measures, and stricter safety protocols for teenagers.

Sora includes parental controls that enable parents to disable infinite scrolling, personalized recommendations, and limit who can send direct messages to their child.

It’s worth noting that in September, OpenAI launched a special version of ChatGPT with parental controls for users under 18.

Enhanced security measures began following a lawsuit from a family that accused the chatbot of being involved in a tragedy concerning their son.
