Retired OpenAI video model that generated clips with synchronized audio from text and image references. Historical rates and formats remain available for comparison.
Retired: the Videos API and this model selector shut down on 2026-09-24. Documentation is retained for historical reference; no live access or replacement is implied.

Rate conditions
Historical standard rate retained on the model card for 720×1280 or 1280×720. Native API retired 2026-09-24. Not a current offer; no Batch discount, host credit conversion, or dated-snapshot tariff is inferred.
Historical standard rate retained on the model card for 1024×1792 or 1792×1024. Native API retired 2026-09-24. Not a current offer; no Batch discount, host credit conversion, or dated-snapshot tariff is inferred.
Historical standard rate retained on the model card for 1080×1920 or 1920×1080. Native API retired 2026-09-24. Not a current offer; no Batch discount, host credit conversion, or dated-snapshot tariff is inferred.
Consult the provider API data controls for historical endpoint and account conditions; no Sora-specific zero-retention or current availability guarantee is inferred.
Exact application selector; not a guaranteed native OpenAPI ID or pinned checkpoint.
Access
Listing only: Akool still exposes this selector in metadata, but OpenAI retired the underlying Videos API on 2026-09-24. This is not confirmed functioning Sora access.
Regions
Published personal-data storage: AWS in the EEA or United States unless otherwise specified. This is not a guarantee of a selectable inference region.
Application routing label, not proof of checkpoint ownership.

Rate conditions
Published application credit tariff for this exact selector and resolution. Account discounts, rounding, minimum billing and conversion to USD are not established. Native Sora API is retired; this listing does not verify working host access. No text-token or cost-per-question quote is derived.
Terms state customer content and usage data will not be used by Akool or third parties to train machine-learning models. Privacy policy gives Customer Content a 365-day retention period with user deletion, and AWS storage in the EEA or US unless otherwise specified. Generated-resource expiry is separate from storage retention. Contract-specific and legal exceptions apply.

Caching can reuse earlier input processing. Availability, lifetime and billing depend on the endpoint. A cache hit still generates a new response.
01 / INITIAL INPUTProcess & retain
The system processes eligible input and retains reusable state.
02 / LATER REQUESTCheck available state
Reuse depends on matching input, session state and the cache policy.
03 / CACHE HITReuse & generate
Reusing state can reduce repeated work. Any charges follow the billing rules below.

What the measurements say
No benchmark observations have been added for this model. We do not turn a vendor description into a performance score.
Latency and throughput depend on the host, request size, reasoning settings and load. There is no measured speed or global usage figure in this record.
The record behind the model
Why it is included
Named proprietary OpenAI video-generation release with official alias and snapshot documentation. Hosted API retirement does not make its weights public.
