OpenAI to shut short-form video app Sora in cost-cutting ahead of IPO

OpenAI will shut its short-form video app Sora six months after its launch, CNBC reported on March 24. The company is streamlining non-core businesses to cut costs and prepare for an IPO, CNBC said. Sora surged in popularity after its release, reaching 1 million downloads in five days, but OpenAI opted to focus on core businesses rather than absorb cloud costs. Plans to integrate web, ChatGPT and Codex apps will continue.
