OpenAI has announced that it currently has no plans to release an API for its Sora model, which generates realistic videos from text or images. During a recent AMA, Romain Huet, head of developer experience, confirmed that the focus is not on an API at this time. The decision may stem from capacity issues, as OpenAI had to halt applications for Sora shortly after its launch due to overwhelming demand.
CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the miscalculation of demand for Sora, stating that it will take time to provide access to everyone. In contrast, competitors like Google and AWS are moving forward with their own video generation APIs, which could put OpenAI at a competitive disadvantage. The landscape of generative video technology is rapidly evolving, with startups also offering APIs that cater to large consumer technology companies.
• OpenAI's Sora API is not planned due to high demand and capacity issues.
• Competitors like Google and AWS are advancing their own video generation APIs.
An API allows different software applications to communicate, which is crucial for integrating AI models.
Generative video refers to AI's ability to create video content based on input data like text or images.
Demand in this context refers to the interest and requests for access to the Sora model, which exceeded expectations.
