OpenAI to Launch Sora on Android, Expanding AI Video Experience

OpenAI is preparing to bring its popular Sora app to Android devices in the near future. Since its release on iOS, Sora has quickly gained popularity, allowing users to generate AI-powered videos featuring themselves and others, which can then be shared on a global feed. The app also provides a unique opportunity for users without a ChatGPT subscription to try OpenAI’s Sora 2 model, making it a standout platform for AI video creation. With the upcoming Android release, a larger audience will gain access to these features.

Android Launch Details

Bill Peebles, Head of Sora at OpenAI, confirmed the Android version in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, stating that “the Android version of Sora is actually coming soon.” The announcement suggests that the app could be available within the next few weeks, giving Android users a chance to explore the AI video creation platform for the first time.

Invite-Only Access Likely

Despite the impending launch, the Android version may continue to operate on an invite-only basis, requiring users to have an invite code to access the app. This approach mirrors the initial rollout on iOS, which limited availability to certain regions and users, helping OpenAI manage demand while fine-tuning the platform.

Early Success on iOS

Sora achieved remarkable success on iOS, reaching one million downloads within the first five days of launch. This milestone was reached even with invite-only access and regional restrictions limited to North America, outperforming the initial growth of ChatGPT. The Android launch is expected to further accelerate adoption, allowing more users to experiment with AI-generated video content and experience the social features that have made Sora an instant hit.

OpenAI Reportedly Developing AI Music Generator to Compete With Suno

OpenAI is reportedly preparing to make its entry into the fast-growing AI-generated music space, signaling another major expansion of its creative technology ecosystem. According to a recent report, the San Francisco-based firm is developing a new tool that can compose instrumental music using text or audio prompts, allowing users to describe melodies, moods, or instruments to generate unique tracks. This move positions OpenAI to directly compete with established players like Suno, Udio, and Beatoven.ai, all of which have gained traction in AI-driven music production. While the company has not yet confirmed an official release timeline, industry observers suggest that testing may already be underway. Devamını Oku

Oracle forecasts $166 billion in cloud revenue by 2030 as AI demand fuels growth

/in /tarafından

Oracle (ORCL.N) expects its cloud infrastructure business to soar to $166 billion in annual revenue by fiscal 2030, nearly three-quarters of its total projected sales, as the company capitalizes on surging demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing.

The forecast, unveiled by CEO Clay Magouyrk during a meeting with analysts, signals Oracle’s growing confidence that its cloud business will continue to expand well beyond its current customer base, which includes OpenAI and Meta Platforms.

CFO Dough Kehring said Oracle anticipates total revenue of $225 billion and adjusted earnings of $21 per share by 2030, outpacing Wall Street expectations of $198.4 billion in sales and $18.92 per share in profits, according to LSEG data.

The company’s cloud infrastructure bookings have ballooned, with Oracle reporting a $65 billion surge in new commitments over a single month last quarter — including a $20 billion deal with Meta. Magouyrk emphasized that the new commitments came from multiple clients, not just OpenAI.

In its most recent quarter, Oracle’s cloud revenue jumped 28% to $7.2 billion, underscoring rapid adoption of its AI and enterprise cloud services.

While the company’s gross margins are expected to fluctuate as it scales its infrastructure business, Oracle said its AI cloud margins will remain in the 30–40% range, while traditional enterprise cloud segments will maintain between 65% and 80% margins.

Oracle shares rose 3% after the forecast, though they dipped slightly in after-hours trading.
