OpenAI's Sora Storms US App Store, Ranks No. 3 in 48 Hours
OpenAI's latest offering, Sora, has stormed the US App Store rankings, securing the No. 3 spot just two days after its release. This video-generation AI app logged an impressive 164,000 installs in its first 48 hours, despite being limited to users in the USA and Canada.
Sora's launch has outperformed several high-profile AI competitors, placing it right behind ChatGPT and Gemini. Its success is a testament to the high demand for AI-powered video tools, as evident from the buzz around its limited release.
OpenAI has a history of testing infrastructure and gauging demand by initially limiting the audience for its AI apps. Sora, like its predecessor ChatGPT, was first released to a select group of users.
What sets Sora apart is its more social, visual AI experience. Unlike text-based apps like ChatGPT, Sora offers a combination of AI and video, akin to a TikTok-AI hybrid.
Sora's rapid rise to the top of the App Store rankings is a clear indicator of the increasing integration of AI into everyday life. People are using AI for various tasks, from writing reports to generating images and creating entertaining content.
Sora's remarkable success could influence OpenAI's focus. While some within the company advocate for more serious breakthroughs, the viral popularity of Sora suggests a strong demand for AI apps that cater to entertainment and creativity. With over 100,000 downloads in its first 48 hours and a No. 3 ranking in the US App Store, Sora's global rollout is highly anticipated.
