Artificial intelligence gives no respite. If a few hours ago we saw how OpenAI launched GPT-4.5, now we have another news that comes to us from the same company. Initially, when he presented its AI video generator, it didn't make it to Europe. You've probably even seen memes about how we're falling behind on the old continent, at least in this regard, and the reason is none other than privacy. Well, Sora is now also available here.
Sora is a generative AI, but in this case it creates videos. Like DALL-E with images, you have to enter a text for it to do the magic, and The result will be videosThere have been other companies that have tried to make paperclips, but Sora has been one of the first, if not the first, to have managed to create something meaningful. Now, if anyone is thinking of being the next SpIAlgerg or something, they should start preparing their wallets.
Sora is only available for paying users
Artificial intelligence has a cost. That is, their work is costly, it consumes a lot of resources, and the more complex what they create is, the more resources they consume. If you want to understand what I mean, try it. Easy Diffusion: If you don't have a computer with a decent GPU, the results will take a while to appear, and the PC will run hotter than usual. Imagine that with videos.
With all this in mind, OpenAI is only offering Sora to paying users, and there are two options: the Plus for 20€/month or the Pro for 200€/month. Being a free user, I can say little about its operation and results. Perhaps, the best way to see the results is by looking at the videos that have been generated by the community.
In any case, it is a step forward in the field of AI, and also for residents of the European Community.
