Sora 2

OpenAI

The most physically coherent generated video — objects keep obeying physics across a shot.

Sora 2’s advantage is temporal and physical consistency: things that should stay solid stay solid, and motion carries momentum across a cut. That matters more for cinematic footage than for a talking head, so it competes with Seedance on production work rather than on avatar work.
