OpenAI plans to integrate its AI video generation tool, Sora, into ChatGPT, though no timeline has been set.

Sora, launched in December 2024 as a standalone web app, enables users to create 20-second cinematic clips.

The ChatGPT-integrated version may have fewer features than the standalone app, which allows editing and combining clips. This integration could encourage more users to subscribe to premium ChatGPT plans with higher video generation limits.

Sora was launched separately to keep ChatGPT’s interface simple, but OpenAI continues improving the web app with community video exploration features.

The company is also working on a mobile app and hiring engineers for the project.

Additionally, OpenAI is developing image generation for Sora to achieve more photorealistic results than the current DALL-E 3 model. A new version of Sora Turbo, the model powering the web app, is also in progress.
