What was the cause of OpenAI outage?
If we look into the Open AI status we can see that this outage happened because of API downtime and recently Open AI released SORA, this is a text to video model developed by AI.
The Sora model generates short video clips based on user prompts, and can also extend existing short videos. Sora was released publicly for OpenAI ChatGPT Plus and OpenAI ChatGPT Pro users in December 2024
This was the largest downtime from past 90 Days!
More about Sora
Sora availability and subscriptions
Sora is included as part of your Plus account at no additional cost. You can generate up to 50 videos at 480p resolution or fewer videos at 720p each month.
For those who want more Sora, the Pro plan includes 10x more usage, higher resolutions, and longer durations. We’re working on tailored pricing for different types of users, which we plan to make available early next year.1
All Sora-generated videos come with C2PA(opens in a new window) metadata, which will identify a video as coming from Sora to provide transparency, and can be used to verify origin. While imperfect, they have added safeguards like visible watermarks by default, and built an internal search tool that uses technical attributes of generations2 to help verify if content came from Sora.
