"Bill Peebles, who leads the Sora team at OpenAI, said the video platform's economics are "currently completely unsustainable." Power users "clearly" aren't satisfied with the number of free generations they get each day - 100 for users of the higher-end Pro model and 30 for everyone else - so Peebles said OpenAI is going to let creators "get as much usage as they want to pay for.""
"Ten extra video generations will cost $4, according to Sora's listing on Apple App Store, though the number of credits used per video depends on "length, resolution, and other factors," according to OpenAI's support page. If you hit your free limit, an option will come up to buy more through the App Store. Credits last for 12 months, and if you want to you can also use them on OpenAI's coding platform Codex."
"Peebles warned people are going to start hitting that limit sooner in the future. "Eventually we will need to bring the free gens down to accommodate growth," he said. "In the meantime, enjoy the crazy usage limits." He didn't provide details but said OpenAI will "be transparent as it happens." The decision to charge for video gens comes amid a broader push to monetize and scale Sora and cultivate what OpenAI hopes is an emerging AI-powered creator economy."
OpenAI lets users buy additional Sora video-generation credits to create more AI videos beyond daily free limits. Daily free generations are set at 100 for higher-end Pro users and 30 for others, and many power users reach those limits. Additional credits are sold via the App Store (ten extra generations listed at $4), vary by video length and resolution, last 12 months, and are also usable on Codex. Free generation allowances are expected to be reduced over time to accommodate growth. Sora is adding features and preparing creator monetization to support an AI-powered creator economy.
