OpenAI’s Sora appears to have leaked
A group appears to have leaked access to Sora, OpenAI’s video generator, in protest of what they’re calling duplicity and “art washing” on OpenAI’s part.
On Tuesday, the group published a project on the AI dev platform Hugging Face seemingly plugged into OpenAI’s Sora API, which isn’t yet publicly available. Using their authentication tokens — presumably from an early access program — the group created a frontend that lets users generate videos with Sora.
Why I think it’s real – this is using the OpenAI Sora API endpoint to generate and download videos with hardcoded request headers and cookies from the Hugging Face space environment config
Using the group’s frontend, any user can generate 10-second videos up to 1080p resolution. When TechCrunch tried, the queue was quite long — but several users on X managed to upload samples.
