In this brief, multi‑speaker commentary, the speakers announce that OpenAI has abruptly shut down Sora, the leading AI video model capable of generating full‑length videos—including audio, music, and actors—from a single text prompt. The shutdown is portrayed as a major loss for creators and for NAS.io, a platform that leveraged Sora to let users produce complete AI‑generated advertisements with a single click. After lamenting the loss, the speaker surveys the current AI video landscape, noting that among the roughly 100 models evaluated, the most promising successor is SeaDance 2.0, a forthcoming model from ByteDance (owner of TikTok). SeaDance 2.0 is expected to launch within a month, promises higher quality than Sora, and will soon be integrated into NAS.io. The overall tone mixes disappointment over Sora’s disappearance with cautious optimism about the imminent arrival of SeaDance 2.0.
