OpenAI just dropped Sora, a new AI model, but unfortunately, the service is not yet officially accessible in Europe or UK.
Apparently, it is not only Europe and UK, but also many other countries that still are waiting for this model to be available.
So while we wait for it to be released, I tried to figure out some workarounds here and found quite a good solution for it.
How to access Sora:
Set up a VPN. A VPN helps you get around region restrictions and access websites you might not be able to visit otherwise.
Connect to an Albanian server. This will give you a local Albanian IP address, which makes the website think you’re browsing from that region.
Use Incognito Mode. Open sora.com in Incognito Mode (or Private Browsing, depending on your browser). This will help to avoid any problems with cached data or cookies.
Log in to your account. As of now, it seems that you can log in to Sora if you have a ChatGPT Plus or Pro account.
What if you don’t have a VPN?
If you don’t have a VPN already, I found this comparison table with quite detailed research. Choose one that suits your budget, as most premium providers should do the trick. In this case, I used NordVPN and it worked well for me.
Possible error message:
Since a lot of people are trying to log in at the same time, you might run into an error. If that happens, just wait an hour or two and try again - everything should work fine after that.
I hope this works for you and that you'll be able to try it yourself.
