Sora 2
Sora 2 is no longer a current recommendation: OpenAI discontinued the Sora web and app experiences on April 26, 2026, and says the already-deprecated API will be discontinued on September 24, 2026. Any successor should be evaluated as a new model rather than assumed to inherit Sora 2's capabilities.
