Sora

model family · in 15 sources (2025–2026)

OpenAI closed the Sora app on 26 April 2026 and the API on 24 September 2026; former Sora work moved mainly to Seedance 2.5 and Veo 3.1. Higgsfield's API keeps Sora's pattern of an asynchronous job, status check and file download, so only the integration layer changes.

2026

  • 2026-02-04 · "Vibecoding" for Video is Here · Higgsfield — Adil says Vibe Motion generates an editable project rather than a fixed video file: where Sora or Veo must be re-rolled, here the font, colours, layout and more can be changed after the result. — 00:01:14
  • 2026-03-21 · The Hidden Reason AI Advanced So Fast — Adil says OpenAI announced Sora in early 2024. — 00:08:08
  • 2026-06-09 (said on 2026-10-20, implied) · The 10 Best AI Video Models in 2026, Tested and Compared — announcement: Higgsfield's blog says Sora 2 is retired: OpenAI shut down the Sora app on April 26, 2026 and the API on September 24, 2026; creators largely moved to Seedance 2.5 and Veo 3.1.
  • 2026-06-10 · How to Make Product Videos for TikTok and Reels Without Filming: 10 AI Formats That Work — announcement: Higgsfield's blog says some presets were first built on OpenAI's Sora, whose app closed on April 26, 2026 and whose API retires on September 24, 2026; on Higgsfield they now run on Seedance 2.0.
  • 2026-07-23 · 10 Best Sora Alternatives in 2026 (Tested and Compared) — Higgsfield's blog names Veo 3.1 the benchmark for the highest quality closest to Sora's cinematic standard, Kling 3.0 the pick for physical realism and human subjects at a lower cost, and Soul ID with Cinema Studio for multi-shot films with consistent characters.
    • Higgsfield's blog says OpenAI discontinued the Sora web and app experiences on April 26, 2026, with the API to follow on September 24, 2026, which made finding an alternative a practical necessity for creators.
  • 2026-08-25 · How BITT Animation Runs Hybrid AI Production on Higgsfield with Cinema Studio and Supercomputer — Higgsfield: BITT's daily workflow came to rest on ComfyUI with open models such as WAN, Flux and Qwen, then closed models such as Veo 3.1 and Nano Banana; it has also tested Runway, Luma, Sora, Kling, Krea, OpenArt and Flow.
  • 2026-10-03 · Sora 2 API Shutdown: Best Alternatives and How to Migrate (2026) — Higgsfield's blog says Sora API requests do not work on other video APIs unchanged; the closest replacement keeps Sora's architecture of an asynchronous job, a status check or webhook and a file to download, so only the integration layer changes.
    • Higgsfield's blog says moving from the Sora API to another single-model API fixes the outage but recreates the dependency of a whole feature on one model from one vendor.
    • If Sora ran as a tool inside Claude or another AI agent, Higgsfield's blog says Higgsfield MCP may fit better than the API: the agent connects through mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp and signs in with a higgsfield.ai account, without an API key. (hedged)
    • OpenAI published the Sora deprecation notice on 24 March 2026 and phased Sora out in two stages: the Sora website and apps closed on 26 April 2026, and the API followed on 24 September 2026, taking every sora-2 and sora-2-pro model with it, so calls to /v1/videos now return an error.
  • 2026-10-22 · AI VIDEO GENERATOR. STUDIO-GRADE RESULTS. — Higgsfield: Video models offered in Higgsfield's video workspace as of 2026-10-22 include Veo, Sora, Kling and Wan, with no setup needed.
