OpenAI Announces ‘Shipmas’, 12-Day Holiday Event with Sora Launch Hints

OpenAI has announced its holiday season event, Shipmas, which promises to reveal new products and features. The 12-day celebration is expected to include big and small announcements, with some speculating that it may launch the highly-anticipated AI model Sora.

According to CEO Sam Altman, the event will feature 12 livestreams and a range of updates across various product lines. While no specific details were revealed during the announcement, employees on social media hinted at the upcoming event, sparking excitement among fans.

The release of Sora had been delayed due to controversy surrounding its use by artists, but it now appears imminent. Some speculate that OpenAI may announce its generative AI video model as part of Shipmas. However, Google has already launched a similar model called Veo in a private preview, potentially sparking competition between the two companies.

The tech community is eagerly awaiting Sora’s launch, and with Shipmas just around the corner, it seems likely that OpenAI will bring out its latest innovations soon.
