OpenAI is expected to launch Sora, its AI video generator, in the coming days after the company announced '12 days of OpenAI' in the run-up to Christmas.

In a tweet on X posted yesterday (December 4) the company behind ChatGPT wrote "12 days. 12 livestreams. A bunch of new things, big and small. 12 Days of OpenAI starts tomorrow."

The Sora website reads, "We’re teaching AI to understand and simulate the physical world in motion, with the goal of training models that help people solve problems that require real-world interaction."

The future of AI video generators

We've seen the proliferation of the best AI image generators over the last couple of years, with OpenAI's Dall-E among the trailblazers. Now, OpenAI is set to compete with competitors like Google, whose VEO AI video generator model is currently available as a private preview.

OpenAI had previously said that Sora would be available by the end of the year, and with 2024 coming to a close, it looks like we won't have much longer to wait. It will be interesting to see how Sora establishes itself, and whether the backlash from artists subsides. Regardless, you should be able to generate your own Santa Claus video just in time for the Christmas holidays, and maybe even some reindeer too.
