OpenAI Launches Sora 2 App with Expanded Access

OpenAI's Sora 2 app has officially launched with expanded access, allowing users in the US, Canada, Japan, and South Korea to join without the previously required invite code. This update has quickly gained popularity, flooding social media with creative video content generated by the AI.

Users can simply download the Sora app from the Apple App Store and log in using their existing ChatGPT credentials to start creating and sharing AI-generated videos. The app is available on iOS and through the Sora.com website, although Android users can only generate videos via a web browser using an invite code.

For users outside the initial release countries, obtaining an invite code is still necessary, which can be done by following specific steps outlined by OpenAI. The company has stated that the current unrestricted access is only for a limited time, with plans to rapidly expand availability.

OpenAI is prioritizing access for its paid Pro users, but free users can also gain entry. Additionally, users looking for quicker access can join OpenAI's official Discord server and request spare invite codes from other community members.

This rollout reflects OpenAI's commitment to democratizing AI technology, enhancing user engagement and potentially fostering broader applications across various fields. As more users gain access to Sora 2, the possibilities for creative AI video generation appear to be limitless, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of AI tools.
