OpenAI to discontinue Sora video platform

techMar 24, 2026105

OpenAI said it will shut down the Sora AI video app as the company refocuses product strategy ahead of a possible IPO. Sora launched last year as a generative AI video creation platform that drew attention but fell from public view. OpenAI did not give a detailed reason for the shutdown. The move matters because video generation is expensive. Cutting Sora can reduce costs and sharpen product focus before a potential public offering.
