About Sora 2
Sora 2 is currently integrated in our internal Comics Video stack, but it is not the model we are building around for the public launch phase. We are keeping it available during the current transition window while preparing to sunset it as our lineup becomes more focused.
That means Sora 2 still matters for testing, comparison, and migration planning. It gives us a useful baseline for quality and workflow evaluation, especially when comparing motion feel and scene behavior against the models we are actively prioritizing.
For creators, the important message is simple: Sora 2 may still appear in previews or transitional workflows, but our near-future roadmap is centered more heavily on models like Happyhorse 1.0, Veo 3.1, and Seedance 2.0.

- →Useful for baseline comparison and internal testing
