OpenAI’s new AI video creation app, Sora, recently hit a major milestone. It soared past one million downloads in less than five days after its release. This quick rise shows how much excitement there is for new generative AI tools.
Bill Peebles, who leads the Sora development team, shared this impressive news. He noted that Sora’s initial download speed actually beat ChatGPT’s early growth. This is especially remarkable because Sora is an invite-only app. You can’t just download it; you need an invitation.
Peebles mentioned his team is working hard to handle the huge demand. Users can expect new features and fixes to appear in the app very soon. OpenAI aims to keep improving the experience for everyone.
The Sora app first arrived on iOS devices at the end of September. It lets users create unique AI-generated video clips. You can even add your own photos or other people’s images into these clips. Plus, the app acts like a showcase, allowing users to browse and watch AI videos made by others.
