Sora 2
OpenAI introduced Sora 2—an important upgrade to the original Sora released in February 2024. It delivers major gains in realism, physical accuracy, controllability, and stylistic range. Sora 2 follows real-world physics more faithfully and keeps a consistent world state across multi-shot scenes.

Sora 2 core capabilities at a glance
More realistic physics
Richer simulation of gravity, buoyancy, collisions, and other real-world dynamics.
Synchronized audio
Generate voice, ambience, and background music—timed to the visuals.
High consistency & multi-shot storytelling
Better adherence to multi-shot prompts, maintaining a coherent world state across scenes.
Real-person cameo insertion
Record yourself (or others) and naturally insert the likeness into generated videos—with permission and revocable access.
Physical details & world understanding
Sora 2 can model real-world motion and interaction—buoyancy, rigidity, zero gravity, object permanence, and environment interaction. Trained on massive video data, it develops a stronger understanding of physical rules—moving one step closer to AI that can truly interact with the real world.
Dialogue & audio sync
Sora 2 can produce richer audio scenes—dialogue, ambience, and effects—and align them tightly with the video rhythm. Speech feels more natural, and immersive sound design makes the overall atmosphere more lifelike.
Long-term consistency & multi-shot storytelling
Sora 2 maintains object permanence and scene continuity in complex multi-shot sequences. Characters, props, and environments stay logically consistent across long sequences and scene changes—reducing accidental distortions or disappearances. It also excels across realistic, cinematic, and anime styles.
Cameo: seamlessly place real people into scenes
You can now upload a short video and a voice sample to create a personal “cameo” character in the Sora app. Sora 2 learns your appearance and voice, then naturally integrates you into any generated scene—with higher fidelity and more natural behavior.
