According to the publication, CEO Sam Altman informed employees that OpenAI will be winding down products built on its video models. This includes not only the consumer application Sora but also the developer version, as well as the discontinuation of video functionality in ChatGPT.
This move is linked to a shift in the company’s strategy. OpenAI wants to direct computing resources and some key teams toward products for businesses, programmers, and so-called agent systems.
Altman noted that the Sora team will now focus on priority long-term projects, such as robotics.
Additionally, the company announced its intention to merge the ChatGPT application, the programming tool Codex, and the browser into one “super application.” OpenAI hopes this will allow them to concentrate efforts around one main product.
Recall that OpenAI launched Sora in September of last year as a platform for creating and distributing AI-generated videos. The project was promoted as one of the company’s most high-profile consumer products, and the service itself featured a social feed similar to TikTok, where users could share created content.
