OpenAI\u2019s head of Sora, Bill Peebles, has shared a detailed update on the video generation app\u2019s upcoming features, signalling a major phase of evolution for the creative tool. In a post on X on Thursday, Peebles highlighted several improvements, from new creation tools to social and performance upgrades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
At the centre of Sora\u2019s next update<\/a> are new creation features, including the ability to generate character cameos<\/i>. Users will soon be able to feature their pets, favourite toys, or even AI-generated characters in their Sora videos. Peebles said the team expects a surge of \u201ccrazy new cameos\u201d once the feature rolls out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n To help users explore these creations, Sora\u2019s generation interface will be updated to show trending cameos in real time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The app will also introduce basic video editing tools, starting with the ability to stitch together multiple clips. Peebles added that more powerful editing capabilities will follow in future releases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Another major focus area is Sora\u2019s social experience. Currently, most users interact via a global feed, but OpenAI<\/a> plans to introduce community-specific channels. These could include groups based on universities, workplaces, or shared interests such as sports clubs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The move is designed to make Sora a more collaborative and community-driven platform, encouraging users to connect around shared creative themes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Peebles also noted ongoing improvements to Sora\u2019s feed and moderation system. The feed has reportedly become \u201cmuch better\u201d<\/a> in recent weeks, with further refinements in the pipeline. OpenAI is also working to reduce excessive moderation of generations, an issue that many users have found frustrating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nSocial Experience Set for an Overhaul<\/strong><\/h2>\n
