OpenAI winds down Sora consumer web and app
OpenAI announced the Sora wind-down; consumer web and app access ended in April, while the API is scheduled to end on 24 September.
OpenAI's consumer Sora web and app experiences were discontinued on 26 April 2026. The company says the Sora API is scheduled to be discontinued on 24 September 2026, giving developers a defined transition period.
The support guidance tells users to export their work promptly and notes that associated data will be deleted after discontinuation and any final export period. This turns an experimental creator tool into a concrete vendor-dependency lesson.
Teams using generated video should keep source assets, prompts, licences and final exports outside a single provider. A documented fallback workflow makes a platform sunset disruptive rather than catastrophic.
