Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Do not start a deployment dependent on official Sora 2 access.

Why
Official access has been retired. Historical tests show useful creative output with remaining instruction-following and physics failures.
Next
Test supported alternatives against the required audio, continuity and editing workflows before migration.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Official product and API retirement.
  • Complex instructions can be missed.
  • Physical continuity and simulation remain unreliable.
  • Independent tests cover limited prompts and configurations.
