Sora is a generative artificial intelligence tool that Create realistic videos. In its new version, presented at the end of September, the model is capable of generating highly realistic soundscapes and synchronizing dialogues and sound effects.

Likewise, this model was launched as basis of a new social application focused on this type of content generated with AI.
Now, although Sora 2 is only available to users in the United States and Canada, OpenAI has detailed that it has imposed limits on the use of the model to generate videos for freefacing keep the service accessible for the maximum number of users possible without saturating it, in the face of high demand for use.

In this way, the company led by Sam Altman coincide con Googlewhich also announced last Friday limitations on free access to the generation of images with Nano Banana Pro due to the “high demand” of the model.
In this case, users went from being able to generate up to three images a day with Gemini 3 Pro, to a limit of two images a dayto guarantee the correct functioning of the model and avoid hindering the capabilities of the service.
