Sora Regrets Leaving: Daily Loss of One Million Dollars, OpenAI Abandons High-Cost Video Industry
OpenAI announced the closure of the video generation model Sora, with its application being discontinued in April and API services ceasing in September. The model once attracted millions of users due to its realistic effects, but its popularity quickly declined, with daily active users dropping to 500,000 and remaining low thereafter. High operational costs and difficulties in commercialization were the main reasons for the shutdown, making Sora a sacrifice of the company's strategic adjustments.
