What is Sora 2?

Sora 2 is OpenAI's second-generation video model. One of its defining characteristics is always-on audio — unlike models where audio is an optional toggle, Sora 2 generates AI audio as an inherent part of every clip. Every output arrives with accompanying sound.

The model produces cinematic-quality video across multiple aspect ratios including 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1, making it suited for everything from landscape cinematic content to vertical social and square formats. Multiple resolution options give you control over output fidelity.

Start frame support allows you to anchor the visual beginning of a clip with an uploaded image, directing the model's opening visual context. Combined with always-on audio and OpenAI's cinematic output quality, Sora 2 is a complete single-pass video production tool for social, advertising, and brand content.
