According to Forbes, OpenAI's video generation app Sora, despite surpassing 4 million downloads, has extremely high operating costs, spending around $15 million per day on generating AI videos, with annual expenses exceeding $5 billion. Analysts estimate the average cost of generating a 10-second video to be about $1.3, much higher than the current free usage level for users. The report notes that OpenAI is still in an aggressive expansion phase, not focusing on profitability yet, in order to increase user base and acquire video training data.
