Sora 2

OpenAI's video generation model, billed per second of output (Sora 2 Pro costs more at higher resolutions). Worth knowing for what it signals as much as for current access: OpenAI discontinued the standalone Sora consumer app on April 26, 2026, cut free-tier video access in January 2026, and has announced the Sora 2 API itself stops accepting requests on September 24, 2026 -- a fast-moving product even by this market's standards.

API-only, per-second billing; consumer access is Plus/Pro subscribers only, and the API's own shutdown is already announced
