Written days after Sora 2's release, this Higgsfield blog post looks at the culture forming around it: gaming and pop-culture mashups, and bodycam and documentary-style realism with the ethical debate it raises. It then looks at what is new under the hood, claiming Sora 2 keeps a character's look across shots and keeps objects that leave the frame in the scene. It closes on the competitive landscape and calls the change permanent.
