In a development that should surprise no one , OpenAI is preparing to release a standalone social app powered by its upcoming Sora 2 video model, Wired reports . The app reportedly "closely resembles" TikTok, with a vertical video feed and swipe-to-scroll navigation. The catch? It will only feature AI-generated content; there's apparently no option for the user to upload photos or videos from their phone's camera roll. Wired adds OpenAI will limit Sora 2 to generating clips that are 10 seconds long or shorter for use inside of the app. It's unclear what the model's limit will be outside of the app. TikTok, following an original limit of 15 seconds, allows people to upload clips that are up to 10 minutes long . The new app is also said to include an identity verification tool. Should a user take advantage of the feature, Sora 2 will be able to use their likeness in videos it generates. In turn, that means other people will be able to tag those users and use ...

Anthropic AI researcher David Hershey told TechCrunch that he’s seen the model code for 30 hours without interruption in early...
