OpenAI's new video generation model, Sora, will not be available to users in the EU and UK at its launch. A help page on OpenAI's website confirms that all EU countries are omitted from the supported regions. Users attempting to access Sora from these regions risk account bans or suspensions.
This exclusion is not unprecedented, as OpenAI previously left EU users out of the early rollout for its Advanced Voice Mode feature.
