OpenAI has announced the discontinuation of SoraOpens in new tab. This model will be removed on September 24, 2026.
OpenAI's flagship video generation model, delivering production-quality video with physics-accurate motion, synchronized audio, and world-state persistence across shots. Sora 2 Pro follows intricate multi-shot instructions while maintaining consistent spatial relationships — objects don't disappear or change shape between cuts. Supports text-to-video and image-to-video, with synchronized background soundscapes, speech, and sound effects. Includes advanced content safety with C2PA metadata provenance and SynthID-style watermarking.

This model is hosted by one provider. OpenRouter forwards every request to it directly — no routing decisions to make.
Throughput is how fast the model writes (tokens per second — higher is better). Latency is total round-trip time (lower is better). TTFT is time-to-first-token — how long before you see anything appear (lower is better).
Uptime is the percentage of the past 3 days that at least one provider was responding to requests. Availability is the percentage of time that inference was successfully served. OpenRouter continuously monitors and uses the next-best provider when one returns an error.
Scores on standardized evaluations. Higher percentages are better — and rank percentile shows where this model lands among all models on OpenRouter.

When an error occurs in an upstream provider, we can recover by routing to another healthy provider, if your request filters allow it. You can access per-provider uptime data programmatically through the Endpoints API. Learn more about our load balancing and customization options.
