OpenAI ends Disney partnership as it closes Sora video-making app

OpenAI has shut down Sora, its AI video-generation app (software that creates realistic videos from text descriptions), less than two years after launch, to focus on other projects like robotics and autonomous AI agents. The closure ends both the consumer app and professional platform, though image-making tools in ChatGPT remain unaffected. Disney, which had recently licensed its intellectual property (creative works and characters owned by a company) to Sora in a landmark deal, said it will now explore partnerships with other AI platforms.
