OpenAI Plans to Shut Down Sora Video App, Wall Street Journal Reports

Tuesday, March 24, 2026 at 4:21 PM

Artificial intelligence company OpenAI is preparing to shut down its Sora video creation application, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The decision comes as the company shifts focus toward business and coding products ahead of a potential stock market debut.

Artificial intelligence company OpenAI plans to shut down its Sora video creation application, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Tuesday.

The decision represents part of OpenAI’s strategic shift toward concentrating on business and programming solutions as the company gears up for a potential initial public offering sometime this year, the Journal reported.

Reuters reached out to the AI company for comment but did not receive an immediate response.

The Sora application, which debuted as a standalone platform in September 2025, allowed users to generate and distribute AI-created videos using copyrighted material through social media-style feeds.

Earlier this month, The Information reported that OpenAI intends to integrate Sora’s capabilities into its widely-used ChatGPT platform.

The video platform garnered significant attention when it first launched but has since faded from the spotlight.
