Could OpenAI have released a local paid version, instead of shutting down Sora? Maybe. A lot of users have beefy machines.

  You probably need $100K of hardware to run Sora.

    Full quality Sora yeah probably needs serious hardware. distilled version on a 4090 though? maybe. danjl earlier in this thread made a solid case for just distributing the weights and letting people run locally. the SD/ComfyUI crowd already does this daily. OpenAI won't because deepfakes. they already had a mess WITH server-side moderation. open weights with zero moderation, good luck with that PR.

      > OpenAI won't because deepfakes. Do you think someone would spend 5 or 6 figures on a license and hardware to create deepfakes?

        People pay for OnlyFans accounts; why not this?
