OpenAI is launching the Sora app, its own TikTok competitor, alongside the Sora 2 model

OpenAI has launched Sora 2, an upgraded video and audio generator, alongside a new social app called Sora, which is designed to compete with TikTok. The Sora 2 model produces more realistic videos by better following the laws of physics, avoiding the odd distortions of earlier models. The Sora app features a TikTok-style algorithmic feed where users can share generated clips and also introduces a “cameos” feature, letting people insert themselves and friends into AI-generated videos after verifying their identity with a one-time video and audio upload. The app will roll out first in the US and Canada on iOS, starting invite-only, though ChatGPT Pro users can access the Sora 2 Pro model without an invite. OpenAI will recommend content based on user activity, engagement, location, and even ChatGPT history, though users can opt out, and it has added parental controls for younger users. The app will be free at launch, with monetisation limited to charging during peak demand. However, its design raises significant concerns about consent, deepfakes, and safety, echoing challenges already seen in generative AI. READ MORE

Why it matters and how can we adapt to this change:

1. TikTok competition: OpenAI is moving beyond AI tools into social platforms, directly competing with TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

2. Personalised AI media: The cameo system introduces mainstream “AI selfies,” where users can star in professional-looking generated videos.

3. Data + AI convergence: By linking ChatGPT history with content recommendations, OpenAI is blending conversational data with social feeds.

4. Ethical stakes: This raises urgent concerns about consent, misuse of likeness, and AI-generated deepfakes in social contexts.

5. Market signal: A social platform tied to a generative model suggests OpenAI is chasing not just enterprise use, but consumer attention and ad-driven markets.

How Replit went from $2.8M to $150M ARR by pivoting away from professional developers

Replit’s founder and CEO Amjad Masad recently shared how the company grew from $2.8 million in ARR to $150 million after a bold pivot away from professional developers and toward non-technical users, unlocking a much larger market despite the challenge of higher compute demands from beginners and hobbyists. Along the way, Replit survived a viral database failure that nearly derailed operations, and the team turned the crisis into stronger infrastructure. Masad also outlined how the company experiments with multiple LLMs competing against each other to prevent reward hacking, aiming to build autonomous coding agents capable of working for hours without human input. His long-term vision is to create a billion new software developers by making coding more accessible while securing an advantage through solving tough safety and security issues in AI-driven software creation. Reflecting investor confidence, Replit recently closed a $250 million Series C at a $3 billion valuation. READ MORE

“Hyper-realistic studio scene styled as a Facebook post. A man (use uploaded photo, preserve face exactly) sits on a giant 3D Facebook logo. He wears a blue oversized t-shirt, combat pants, and premium shoes. He has headphones on, eyes closed, enjoying music. In one hand, he holds up his smartphone toward the camera, showing the Facebook app open with a music-themed post. From his headphones, glowing 3D Facebook reaction emojis float outward into the air: 👍 Like, ❤️ Love, 😆 Haha, 😮 Wow, 😢 Sad, and 😡 Angry.

Behind him, a giant playlist wall is reimagined as a Facebook feed wall: rows of posts in Facebook’s blue-and-white style, featuring music updates, fan pages, and trending reels. The entire studio glows in cinematic tones with Facebook blue highlights, creating a vibrant social media vibe. Ultra-detailed, high-resolution, designed for a Facebook visual.”
