Sora 2

Sora 2 is shutting down: OpenAI deprecated sora-2 and sora-2-pro on March 24, 2026, discontinued the Sora web and app experiences on April 26, 2026, and shuts the Videos API down on September 24, 2026 with no announced replacement. Do not start anything new on it; any future successor should be evaluated as a new model rather than assumed to inherit Sora 2's capabilities.

Frequently asked questions

Is OpenAI Sora still available?

Only until September 24, 2026, when OpenAI shuts the Videos API down. OpenAI deprecated sora-2 and sora-2-pro on March 24, 2026, discontinued the consumer Sora web and app experiences on April 26, 2026, and has announced no replacement.

How much did Sora 2 cost?

OpenAI listed Sora 2 at $0.10 per second at 720p through its own API, and FAL and Replicate listed the same $0.10 on September 23, 2026 — the day before the shutdown.

What should I use instead of Sora 2?

OpenAI lists no replacement. In September 2026 the leaders were Gemini Omni Flash, Wan 3.0, MiniMax H3, and Seedance 2.0 on blind-vote leaderboards, with Seedance 2.0 and Kling 3.0 the strongest image-to-video choices. Pick on native audio, source-frame fidelity, clip length, and cost per accepted clip.
