Key Takeaways
- OpenAI says the Sora API will be discontinued September 24, 2026.
- The developer documentation lists the Videos API and Sora 2 model variants in the shutdown.
What Happened
OpenAI will discontinue the Sora Videos API and Sora 2 models on September 24, creating an immediate migration deadline for automated creator pipelines that still depend on them.
The shutdown date and affected API surface are taken from OpenAI’s official Help Center and developer documentation.
Why It Matters
Creators and studios that automated previs, social video, concept footage or batch rendering around Sora have only days to export what they need and replace API dependencies. VEYR should flag operational changes that materially affect production pipelines, not just new model launches.
