OpenAI Launches Sora 2: AI Video App to Rival TikTok & Google’s Veo 3

OpenAI has launched Sora 2, its next-generation AI video creation app, which is set to compete directly with TikTok and Google’s Veo 3. The app allows users to generate high-quality, short-form videos using just text prompts, making video production as easy as typing a sentence.

According to OpenAI, Sora 2 improves on the first version with faster rendering speeds, higher resolution videos, and advanced editing tools. Unlike TikTok, which focuses on user-recorded content, Sora 2 gives creators the power to generate original video clips instantly, opening up opportunities for influencers, brands, and businesses.

Experts believe Sora 2 could reshape the social media landscape by merging AI creativity with viral short-form content. Analysts say it positions OpenAI as a direct competitor not only to TikTok but also to Google’s Veo 3 AI video model, which launched earlier this year.

OpenAI is initially rolling out Sora 2 in select markets, with a global release expected soon. The app also comes with built-in safety features to prevent misuse of AI-generated videos.
