March 25th news, last SeptemberOpenAI Online Video Production Model Sora 2 and its dedicated short video platform, and seven months later today the Sora platform was shut down。
According to Wall Street Journal. In an internal letter, Otman announced that the Sora video platform would be completely shut down. It's not just that consumer app, developer API, ChatGPT video generation, all cut off. Clean and clear。
And just now, Sora also wrote:
We'll say goodbye to Sora application. For all of you who use Sora to create, share and build communities around it: Thank you. What you created with Sora is very important, and we know it's disappointing。
IN ADDITION, THERE IS A REFERENCE TO THE "APPLY AND API TIMETABLE"。
The report mentions that when Sora went online, OpenAI was "surprising" at the size of the calculus consumed by the project, as there was no clear user demand validation at all, and the company had already destroyed a large amount of computing resources。
Sora APP ' s 30-day user retention rate has proved to be only 1% and 60-day retention rate is zero。
Another problem with the collapse of Sora is the operating cost; in order to control the cost, OpenAI was forced to reduce the daily generation of free users from 30 to 6。
