Killing Sora was one of the worst mistakes they ever made
- fooblaster 28d agoplease tell us why
- openaiscooked 28d agoRich media is where all the innovation is happening now and in the future. Text-to-text is dead, has been since Mistral 7b. Solved problem (you guys like that one don’t you) They also demoted themselves from “authority on AI” to “in over our heads” by bowing out in the pathetically defeatist way they did at the worst time possible (Hailuo/MiniMax/Vidu coming up) - they naturally completely missed the wave on audio with random companies like Singify taking that market for free. They just bowed out. They didn’t try. They didn’t try anything more than baseline text-to-text and they aren’t good at that (or code) either, compared to what others are doing. It’s a really bad position to be in if you’re trying to be an Apple or Microsoft. To have a mediocre product and then can’t even serve 75% of the mainstream use case.

- Otterly99 28d agoI never used Sora but I recently tried Google Flow and the results are quite good. I have the feeling that Nano Banana 2 has been the image generation champion since it's release so maybe OpenAI feels that they cannot outcompete Google on this task?
- nimbleal 28d agoGPT 2 is almost always better (80+% of the time?) than Nano Banana 2, albeit slower
- vunderba 28d agoOn my experiments on GenAI Image Showdown, Nano Banana Pro slightly edges out NB2, though I'm not sure the cost difference makes it worth it. And in pure qualitative terms, I'd agree that NB2/NB Pro are still on par with gpt-image-2, but gpt-image-2 is far easier to steer and is significantly better in terms of prompt adherence.

- Langleigh 28d ago100% they should have not given up on video. That announcement is when I stopped paying attention to them.
