The Sora app has set a new record for downloads and its success continues.
According to the official announcement of OpenAI officials, the Sora app managed to reach one million downloads on the App Store less than five days after its release. This means that Sora has broken the ChatGPT record.
The Sora app has only been released in North America and access to it is only possible through invitation. Reaching one million downloads in such conditions is very impressive.
The structure of the Sora app is similar to some social networks such as TikTok; with the difference that the videos are generated by artificial intelligence. Users can create 10-second videos with the help of the Sora 2 model.
Sora's Cameo feature allows people to create fake videos using the faces of other users; of course, the consent of the people to use their faces is necessary and mandatory.
OpenAI was forced to take a more stringent approach to video monitoring after the app Sora violated copyright laws. In fact, users can now more precisely specify how their faces are used.
Note that a million downloads does not mean a million active users; but Sora has left behind impressive statistics even in this case, and it seems that its serial successes are not over.
