Reports: OpenAI winding down Sora as Altman focuses on data centers

The Wall Street Journal and The Information report that OpenAI is discontinuing its once viral Sora text-to-video generation app.

Sora debuted late last year and started off scorching hot, but quickly lost steam.

Per The Information report, CEO Sam Altman has told staff he is shifting responsibilities to focus on building data centers. He also will no longer directly oversee OpenAI’s safety and security teams. Altman shared with staff as well that initial development of OpenAI’s next AI model — code-named Spud — has been completed.
