How to get Sora AI 2 (Sora 2)?
You need an invite code to access Sora 2. Invite codes are often shared by existing users, or in community forums and social channels.
Where is Sora 2 available?
Sora 2 is currently available in the U.S. and Canada via the iOS Sora app and via sora.com. OpenAI plans to expand access to more countries over time.
Is Sora AI (Sora 2) public yet?
Partially. Sora 2 is live for users who receive invites (within supported regions). However, it is not fully open to everyone globally yet. Many regions are still awaiting access.
I don't know if this is common knowledge or the way to get access or if I stumbled on it.
This worked for me unexpectedly. It gave me access and it also gave me the standard 6 invite codes you get when you get access. NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE INVITE CODES TO GIVE SO PLEASE NO DM'S.
If outside of US.
VPN for US.
Change your Apple App store to the US store - enter all details required. Get a random US number from an online generator. Make sure post code for address is correct as it will flag it. Use a random US address.
Download Sora 2 app
Login with ChatGPT login - I have Pro so I assume this would be the minimum requirement.
Voila - you have immediate access.
No waiting. for codes and beating 1000 other people to get one.
This worked for me when I tried it, first go. Give it a shot.
How to access Sora AI 2
This guide explains the requirements and methods for accessing Sora AI 2. Access primarily depends on an invitation code and your location.
Access requirements
Invitation code: You need a six-digit alphanumeric code to register. For example: 3P5MHB.
Location: Access is restricted to users with a United States or Canadian IP address. A VPN may be sufficient to meet this requirement.
You can enter the code on the Sora website (sora.chatgpt.com) or through the iOS and Android mobile apps.
How to get an invitation code
The most effective method is to join the official Sora AI Discord server.
Join the Discord server: Use the link discord.gg/HM8gJtdJff.
Ask in voice chat: The voice channels are the most reliable place to ask for a code. Users who gain access receive four additional invitations to share. Voice chat allows for direct communication, creating an efficient system for distributing these codes.
Ask in text channels: You can also ask for a code in the relevant text discussion channels.
Access without a code
A small number of users report gaining access by creating a new account directly, without logging in via an existing ChatGPT account. This method is not reliable and only works occasionally.
EDIT: Please use this thread only to request codes.
Make a comment stating that you promise you're going to give at least 3 codes back
Click on your profile to find the codes once your in (only works on mobile, click ... on mobile web for android) or the (...) in the bottom left on PC.
Add R- to the front of every code you put here to confuse bots

Asking basic questions about Sora AI 2
Asking for invite codes
Since we've collaborated with them in the past, I'll be reaching out to them directly to see if I can get you guys some invite codes.
Let's use this opportunity to answer some basic questions. If you can respond to the thread with answers, I will make this an FAQ.
Once we have codes or SoraAI is released to all, we will ping you in Discord.
How can I get an invite code to Sora AI 2?
Access is currently invite-only. The first users are receiving direct invitations and are also being given a few "friend passes" to share. The best way to get in line is to be a ChatGPT Pro or Plus subscriber, as these users will be prioritized after the initial wave. You can also download the Sora app now and register to be notified when you get access.
How did people get their initial invite code?
The very first users received direct invitations. Each of these people was also given four invite codes they could share with friends.
Do you need to be a pro subscriber or a plus subscriber to get Sora?
While not an absolute requirement, being a ChatGPT Pro or Plus subscriber gives you priority access. The rollout prioritizes early Sora 1 power users first, followed by Pro subscribers, and then Plus and Team plan users.
Initially, Sora 2 will be free with generous limits. However, Pro subscribers will have access to a higher-quality, experimental version called Sora 2 Pro.
In which countries is Sora currently available?
The initial launch of the Sora 2 iOS app is in the U.S. and Canada, with plans to expand to more countries soon.
What are the key improvements of Sora 2?
Sora 2 is a major upgrade with several key improvements:
Synchronized audio: It can generate video with synchronized dialogue, sound effects, and background sounds, which was not possible before.
Improved physics: The model has a much better grasp of real-world physics, making object interactions and movements more realistic.
Better consistency: It is far better at keeping characters and objects consistent throughout a video, even across multiple scenes.
Cameo feature: This new app feature lets you insert yourself or friends into the AI-generated videos by taking a short recording.
Higher quality: The videos are longer (up to 60 seconds), sharper, and more detailed than the previous version.
Is it true that Sora can generate audio and sound effects as well?
Yes, this is one of the biggest new features. Sora 2 is a full audio-video model. It can create realistic and synchronized dialogue, sound effects, and background noise that match the action happening in the video, making the final result much more immersive.
What are some new uses for Sora 2?
Based on its new features, here are some of the most common ways people are planning to use Sora 2 are likely:
Social content: Creating fun, viral videos for social media, especially using the new Cameo feature to put themselves and friends into fantastic scenarios.
Filmmaking and storytelling: Quickly creating storyboards, animated shorts, or even generating high-quality B-roll footage for professional projects.
Marketing and advertising: Visualizing products in action and creating engaging ad content without the need for expensive physical video shoots.
Personalized entertainment: Simply having fun by generating videos of yourself in impossible situations, like walking on the moon or starring in a fantasy movie.
As far as I understand OpenAI wants to make a tiktok alternative for a wide audience.
TikTok reportedly sees 1+ billion videos uploaded per day. If each 10-second Al video costs roughly 0.1$-1$ in compute + infra, that will cost hundreds of millions a day just to support uploads. How are they gonna finance it?
