ora Fully Shut Down, AI Video Commercialization Faces Severe Challenges

35    2026-04-22

OpenAI's Sora was suddenly shut down, with all applications, APIs, and video features built into ChatGPT offline, citing a serious imbalance between computing power costs and commercial returns. Data shows that Sora's daily computing power cost is as high as 15 million US dollars, with an input-output ratio of only 1:2500, and the 30-day user retention rate is less than 1%. In contrast, Alibaba's HappyHorse-1.0 topped the blind test list, Kuaishou's Keling AI generated 340 million RMB in revenue in a single quarter, and ByteDance's Dance 2.0 raised prices three times in a month but was still in short supply. Chinese AI video is shifting from "technology romance" to "computing power hand-to-hand combat".
