What is Sora 2?

Sora 2 is OpenAI's second-generation video generation model, released in late 2025. It marked a major leap forward in AI video quality, controllability, and length.

Key Improvements Over Sora 1

• Higher fidelity: 1080p resolution with photorealistic detail
• Longer clips: Up to 12 seconds (vs 5-6s in the original)
• Better physics: Realistic motion, gravity, object permanence
• Audio generation: Native synchronized sound effects
• Image-to-video: First-class support for animating still images

How Sora 2 Works

Sora 2 uses a diffusion transformer architecture — a combination of:

1. Diffusion models (iterative denoising for high quality)
2. Transformer blocks (for handling long video sequences)

The model treats video as a sequence of "spacetime patches" — a 3D grid of tokens representing space and time — and learns to predict the next frame.
