  "price": "API only: Sora 2 $0.10/sec at 720p; Sora 2 Pro $0.30/sec (720p), $0.50 (1024p), $0.70 (1080p). Batch mode is 50% off. No consumer plan exists any more.",
  "tier": "paid",
  "pick": false,
  "what": "OpenAI's video model, <b>Sora 2</b> and Sora 2 Pro, offering synchronised audio, cameo-style character insertion and strong physical simulation. The Sora web and iOS apps were discontinued on 26 April 2026 after deepfake backlash and Disney's exit from the partnership.",
  "why": "Still excellent at physically coherent multi-shot scenes and dialogue-driven storytelling, and Pro at 1080p remains a quality benchmark. Realistically it is now only worth touching to finish work already in flight.",
  "warn": "<b>The Sora API shuts down permanently on 24 September 2026</b> and accepts no requests after that date. The consumer apps are already gone and ChatGPT Plus and Pro lost Sora access in April 2026. Do not build anything new on it - export your assets now.",
  "install": "REST API via OpenAI, live only until 24 September 2026.",
