Just read a Securities Times piece saying the Sora hype has basically died down, and the whole AI video space is moving past the flashy demos and getting practical. Honestly, this shift makes sense—everyone was blown away by those slick demos at first, but when you actually need to use it daily and produce deliverable videos, stability and cost become the real deal.
When they say “practical” for a product, I take it as controllable, editable, and tweakable on repeat—not just gacha-style re-rolling until you get one mind-blowing clip and calling it done. Now that the field’s at this stage, it’s actually a sweet spot for tool builders. Who do you all think will step up next?
