The sudden fall of Sora

The hype cycle for AI products is brutal. Going from "this will change everything" to silence in a few months is rough. Makes you wonder how many other AI products are riding the same wave right now without anyone noticing.

Honestly given that they’re nowhere near profitable even with their main product this is the right move.

Unbelievable. Some dude makes an hn account after lurking who knows how long, makes his very first innocuous comment a day later, and is immediately attacked as a newb or a shill? Give people at least a little benefit of the doubt.

The whole company appears to be a giant pile of burning cash at this point and I can only imagine that this wasn’t exactly helping that situation.

Was it fun while it lasted? Sorta, but it got old pretty quick.

Is this a business? Hell no.

Meanwhile, Sora and other video models have become available on Openrouter. Are we sure this is the end of Sora? Or just the interface?
