OpenAI’s latest creation, Sora 2, has taken social media by storm — and for both good and strange reasons.
The new platform, filled entirely with AI-generated videos, is already being called the most surreal social app of 2025. But if you’re trying to get in, there’s a catch — you need a special invite code to join.
What is Sora 2?
Sora 2 isn’t just OpenAI’s next-generation AI video generation model — it’s a full-fledged TikTok-style social platform where every 10-second video is completely artificial. Despite its disclaimer that nothing you see is real, users are encouraged to share, scroll, and connect just as they would on Instagram or TikTok.
Currently, Sora 2 is available on iOS via the Apple App Store, though OpenAI says it plans to expand to other regions soon. For now, you’ll need an invitation to join, as access remains limited to Pro ChatGPT users in the US and Canada.
How to get invite code for Sora 2
If you’re eager to experience this unusual social experiment, here’s how to request access:
-
Download the Sora app from the Apple App Store. Look for the navy and white cloud icon.
-
Log in using your ChatGPT credentials or tap Use different account.
-
Tap “Notify me when access opens.”
-
Allow push notifications when prompted.
Once OpenAI approves your access, you’ll receive a code to create your account. From there, you can explore Sora on mobile or web — and you’ll even get four invite codes to share with your friends.
Where Sora 2 stands now
OpenAI confirmed that Sora’s initial rollout will remain limited as the company monitors early user feedback. However, its integration with ChatGPT signals a bigger plan: soon, Sora may become part of the ChatGPT ecosystem, letting users generate and share AI videos directly from their accounts.
Mastering Sora 2: 6 Tricks to Create Better AI Videos
If you’ve already gained access, these tips can help you get the most out of the app — and produce cleaner, more realistic AI videos.
1. Run multiple generations
AI-generated videos rarely turn out perfect on the first try. If your prompt doesn’t produce the result you want, regenerate it — small wording tweaks can make a big difference.
2. Respect the 10-second limit
Sora clips are capped at 10 seconds, and trying to merge several short videos often leads to awkward transitions. Keep your ideas short and focused for the best visual flow.
3. Avoid overusing text
Even advanced AI models like Sora 2 and Google’s Veo 3 struggle with readable on-screen text. Avoid prompts involving detailed books, signs, or captions — simple words work better.
4. Be Cautious with cameos
Sora lets users generate videos featuring real people through a feature called Cameos. You can record yourself and appear in other users’ AI videos — but remember, the person whose Cameo you use can see your video before you post it. Always create responsibly.
Sora 2 represents a new phase in AI-driven social interaction, blurring the line between creativity and reality. While it’s an exciting playground for creators and technologists, its rise also raises new ethical questions about authenticity and digital identity in the AI age.
