ChatGPT App May Soon Feature AI Video Generation with Sora

OpenAI is reportedly integrating its Sora text-to-video tool into the ChatGPT app, expanding its AI capabilities and potentially boosting subscriptions.

Back in late 2024, OpenAI dropped Sora, its slick text-to-video tool, and by the tail end of February this year, Europe got a taste of the action. Now, word on the street—courtesy of TechCrunch and some insider chatter—is that Sora might just cozy up inside the ChatGPT app next. Right now, if you’re itching to try Sora, you’ll need to pony up for a paid plan and stick to the web client. And when it does make the jump to ChatGPT? Don’t expect all the bells and whistles from the full Sora dashboard. But hey, no one’s marking their calendars yet; OpenAI’s playing it coy on the rollout details.

With rivals like xAI and DeepSeek breathing down its neck, OpenAI’s not about to let its crown slip. Sliding Sora into ChatGPT, which, let’s face it, is already a beast with over 400 million weekly users, could be a game-changer. Especially since only the ChatGPT Plus and Pro crowd will get to play with Sora. Talk about a subscription sweetener.

And that’s not all OpenAI’s been cooking up. They’ve just let GPT-4.5 out of the lab—their most brainy AI model yet—and it’s starting to trickle out. Plus, for the ChatGPT Plus folks, there’s the Deep Research tool, serving up info with the depth of Google Gemini’s version. And let’s not forget Operator, OpenAI’s do-it-all digital butler, now rolling out to ChatGPT Pro users in more places. Thanks to hookups with Uber, Instacart, and DoorDash, Operator can turn your ‘I wish’ into ‘Done.’ Pretty neat, huh?
