OpenAI shuts down Sora video app, Disney exits related deal

OpenAI is shutting down its Sora generative video app. Disney has pulled out of the planned $1 billion partnership tied to Sora. OpenAI recently released Sora 2, a more physically accurate and controllable video generation model with synchronized dialogue, but OpenAI is discontinuing the consumer app. The decision signals major commercial and partnership setbacks for large-scale AI video products and will reshape investment and content safety approaches across the industry.
