The move comes as launches, access policies, infrastructure plans and long-term product continuity are increasingly moving on different tracks
OpenAI has revealed that Sora’s web and app experiences will end
on April 26, 2026, and the
Sora API
will be discontinued on Sept. 24. For users and developers, this marks the end of a product OpenAI had positioned as a major step in video generation.
OpenAI had already
removed Sora 1 for U.S.
users on March 13. Its
developer changelog
shows the v1/videos API for Sora 2 and Sora 2 Pro launched on Oct. 6, 2025, and that OpenAI expanded the Sora API on March 12, 2026 with longer generations, 1080p output for Sora 2 Pro, video extensions and Batch API support.
On March 19, OpenAI added an e
ditor to Sora on iOS and web
.
Other recent AI pullbacks and what they have in common
Sora is not the only recent AI pullback.
Character.AI said in November 2025
that it would begin removing open-ended chat for under-18 users in the U.S., describing the rollout as being handled “with user safety in mind” and saying it wanted to be “as cautious as possible in this transition.”
Meta said
on Jan. 23 that it was “temporarily pausing teens’ access” to existing AI characters globally while it develops a new version, with parental controls to apply to that updated experience.
