Jakarta, INTI – OpenAI has introduced Sora 2, its latest artificial intelligence model capable of producing realistic video and audio, on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. The launch comes as a solution for digital creators seeking to produce more lifelike and engaging content without relying on traditional recording processes. Sora 2 emphasizes the ability to understand the laws of physics, ensuring that generated scenes appear natural while maintaining visual and audio continuity. The launch event also introduced the Sora social app for iPhone, allowing users to create vertical short videos similar to TikTok, entirely generated by AI. With this innovation, OpenAI aims for creators and tech enthusiasts in North America to experience easier and safer content creation. This launch marks a significant step for the digital creativity landscape, comparable to the impact of ChatGPT.
Sora 2’s Advantages in Creating Realistic Videos
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated that Sora 2 offers a new experience for creators. “There’s something exciting when ideas quickly turn into tangible results. Creativity can explode, bringing major advancements in art and entertainment,” he said. Sora 2 can generate complex scenes such as skateboard tricks, gymnastics routines, figure skating with pets, and anime-style sequences, all with realistic motion and physics effects. Unlike the previous generation, Sora 2 corrects physical logic errors—for example, a basketball that misses the hoop will bounce according to gravity, rather than teleporting.
Audio Integration and User Interactivity
In addition to visuals, Sora 2 can add background sounds, dialogue, and environmental effects synchronized with the scene. The Sora app features a vertical feed with interactive options like “For You,” captions, like icons, comments, and sharing. Its unique “Cameos” feature allows users to upload a single recording of their face and voice to insert themselves into various AI-generated scenes. Users retain full control over their cameos, including the ability to delete or revoke permission at any time.
Safety and Ethical Use
Altman emphasized that safety and ethics are top priorities. Public figures cannot be used without consent, explicit content will not be processed, and parental controls are available for teenage users. OpenAI has also implemented risk mitigation measures, including preventing unauthorized deepfakes, protecting against harmful content, and monitoring the psychological impact of app usage. “We want users to feel that their lives improve by using Sora, not the other way around,” Altman added.
Availability and User Access
Currently, the Sora app is available for free on the App Store for iPhone users in the U.S. and Canada through an invitation system. Users who receive an invitation can send up to four additional invitations to friends. Sora 2 is free with usage limits, while ChatGPT Pro users automatically gain access to Sora 2 Pro, a more advanced version offering higher-quality video.
Conclusion
The launch of Sora 2 marks a major milestone for OpenAI in delivering more realistic and interactive generative AI technology. With its advanced visual and audio capabilities, cameo control, and focus on safety, Sora 2 opens new opportunities for digital creators and tech enthusiasts to produce innovative content.
