We knew this was coming, but the Sora app has now officially arrived on Android devices in a few select regions. What’s even more exciting is that you don’t need to wait for an invitation like many did when first launching the app on iOS. According to a ad published on X Through OpenAI’s official Sora account, Android users in the United States, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Thailand can now download Sora and start creating AI-generated videos using OpenAI’s Sora 2 video engine.
As noted above, many users will not have to wait to start using the app, because Previously announced OpenAI this would temporarily allow new users to join the app in the United States, Canada, Korea, and Japan without waiting for an invitation. There’s no information on how long this “limited time” availability will last, but if you’re interested in trying the app on Android or iOS, now is the time to get involved.
Sora on Android means more AI videos
Of course, Sora 2 – the video generation model that powers OpenAI’s Sora app – proved exceptionally good at creating videos using simple prompts, and that’s what made the app successful. That, and the fact that you can remix just about any video seen there, adding new things or editing them with additional prompts and information.
Now that Sora is expanding to more platforms, that means we’ll likely see even more AI videos popping up. This is a good or bad thing, depending on which camp you fall into. Notably, it appears that Europe wasn’t included in this most recent launch on Android, or even iOS. The AI video generation has come a long way in recent months, and Sora is just the latest to help push things further than ever before. It also appears that Google has updated its AI video generation tools with Veo 3.1, and Meta has introduced its own AI video platform called Vibes.
