OpenAI's about to shut down their AI video generation service entirely, Sora's getting killed off after just half a year online.

Saw some news saying OpenAI is planning to fully shut down their AI video generation service. Sora went from launch to shutdown in like half a year. Not sure yet if it’s completely axed or merged into another product line—gonna keep an eye on it.

Shutting down in six months is kinda surprising, considering how hyped it was back then. Is it burning cash they can’t sustain, or the results didn’t live up to expectations, or maybe a strategic pivot to something else?

All just guesses for now. This hits hard for people who built their workflow around it—if you’ve used it, better export your stuff ASAP and find alternatives. Anyone in the know, spill the tea—what’s really going on with this?

Damn, didn’t expect it to shut down after just half a year.

Video generation eats up too much compute, can’t handle it, that’s normal.

Could be that they’re merging it into another product, not completely killing it off.

People who rely on it for client work better start looking for alternatives ASAP.

What’s the official reason they gave for shutting it down?

Maxed out the hype and it wrapped up this fast.

Gotta export the assets first, don’t want them to disappear later.

Spill the tea, feels like there’s a story behind this.

Pretty cool, ngl.
