Sora 2 and the cameo addition is a smart play. I've used veo 3 for ages but for my non tech friends it didn't really interest them other than a “ that's cool ! ” They will flock to this. Google played it too safe, I need to test the quality first before I judge though.

I think this should be a bigger deal. They didn't bring this up, but it seems like they're working on user-guided recommender algorithms from LLMs. Sam talks about this in his blog, too. I think Musk also said something similar. https://openai.com/... https://blog.samaltman.com/…

saw a lot of videos with the cup water flipping an arrow (physics) which made me wonder if it can do chemistry. asked a few models to drop mentos into a coke bottle without specifying what should happen and @grok did best (?), but none were good. (grok, gemini, sora 1) [video]

My first direct Sora 2 output. Not too bad at all. prompt: “@sama on a lake dock, wakeboarding in a tuxeudo, in one hand he has a can of soda, in the other an american flag, he looks at the camera and says “Happy Sora 2 day everyone!” [video]

Sora 2 is out! I'm incredibly impressed that despite Sora 1 setting a ridiculous bar — as the largest jump in video capability basically ever — Sora 2 somehow matches up here. For people that played around a lot with Sora 1, it didn't feel clear that Sora really ‘understood’

sora 2 still hasn't fully registered, like i was expecting this level of consistency and coherence to arrive maybe next year the audio also seems improved over veo 3 which is insane because veo 3 was already amazing in that aspect [video]

Excited to launch Sora 2! Video models have come a long way; this is a tremendous research achievement. Sora is also the most fun I've had with a new product in a long time. The iOS app is available in the App Store in the US and Canada; we will expand quickly.

I did not expect such fun dynamics to emerge from being able to “put yourself and your friends in videos” but I encourage you to check it out! ChatGPT Pro subscribers can generate with Sora 2 Pro. Longer post coming in a minute.
