OpenAI brought Sora AI to iOS last month and now Android users in select countries are getting the AI video generation platform.
Sora comes to Android users but India is missing from the list
OpenAI is bringing the Sora AI video generation model in the form of an app for Android users from this week onwards. The iOS version came out last month but now people can download the AI video app from the Play Store but in select regions for now. As you might know, Sora is the AI model from OpenAI which can generate videos from text prompts or images.
The feature is still locked in for the premium Plus and Pro users on the ChatGPT roster but making it available on Android suggests the free version won’t be far away.
Sora AI App For Android: What It Offers
Sora AI works the same way across the web and mobile version. The mobile app is comparatively crisp and simple to use. You have a Reels-like interface which lets you create videos using text prompt or by uploading images.
You can even add friends in the videos and share the edited version with people to get likes and more reach. It also lets you remix the AI video in your personal way. Sora also has a feed of AI videos from other people that you can discover. See it as a Reels for AI videos.
Sora AI on Android is available in these regions:
- Canada
- Japan
- Korea
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- US
- Vietnam
India is a surprising but an understandable omission from the list as many of the users in the country have signed up for the ChatGPT Go version (or the free offer) which does not offer Sora feature. But we expect that to change in the near future as OpenAI looks to bring more users to these platforms to help them train the AI models and make them better.
OpenAI is facing the heat from the Japanese anime creators who have written a letter to the AI company warning it about using their licensed content to train their AI models.
We’ve seen images being generated using the Studio Ghibli and other anime style prompts, and now Content Overseas Distribution Association (CODA), the body working with these creators has raised concerns about OpenAI using the content to train its AI video models for Sora as well.
The creator body has mentioned in its letter that use of the licensed content was not ideal and has requested OpenAI to stop using the anime to train its Sora 2 video generation model.
