OpenAI’s 12 days of ‘shipmas’ include Sora and new reasoning model

Dec 04, 2024 - theverge.com
OpenAI is set to launch a series of new features, products, and demos over a 12-day period starting December 5th, including the much-anticipated text-to-video AI tool Sora and a new reasoning model. The announcement was confirmed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at The New York Times’ DealBook conference, with further hints dropped by OpenAI staff on social media. The launch of Sora follows recent controversy after artists leaked the model, protesting its use by OpenAI for what they claim is “unpaid R&D and PR.”

In addition to Sora, Google has also launched its latest generative AI video model, Veo, available for businesses to incorporate into their content creation pipelines. OpenAI's 12-day announcement spree may also include a new Santa-inspired voice for ChatGPT, as some users have spotted code that replaces the voice mode button with a snowflake.
