That was quick. OpenAI Shutting Down Sora AI Video App – Disney’s $1 Billion Deal Collapses in Major 2026 Shakeup
OpenAI announced that Sora AI was shutting down. It only in launched in September of last year.
The surprise decision came this afternoon when the official Sora X account shared a statement telling its users that the app would be shut down. Few details were given, other than that OpenAI is “saying goodbye to Sora” and that the company will share more information soon, “including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work.” The message is signed, “The Sora Team.”
The details are huge, since Disney invested heavily in OpenAI and Sora.
In December, Disney made a $1 billion investment in OpenAI, and the deal included Disney characters from various franchises – Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, and more – being brought to Sora for its users to play with as they made their AI videos.
Disney is once again looking for an AI partner, because they expect to need AI to cut costs.
