OpenAI<\/strong>\u2019s AI-powered video application<\/strong>, Sora<\/strong>, achieved 470,000 downloads<\/strong> on its first day on the Android<\/strong> version, outperforming its iOS launch<\/strong> by four times. The application allows users to create short videos with AI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AI-powered video application<\/strong> Sora<\/strong> made a significant debut on the Android platform<\/strong> on its first day. The application, developed by OpenAI<\/strong>, the creator of ChatGPT<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, was downloaded approximately 470,000 times<\/strong> within the first 24 hours of its release on the Google Play Store<\/strong>. This data was shared by the app analytics company Appfigures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Times the Success on Android Compared to iOS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This figure is equivalent to approximately four times Sora\u2019s iOS launch<\/strong>. The Android version<\/strong> achieved 327% more installations<\/strong> compared to iOS<\/strong>. However, Appfigures<\/strong> also emphasizes that this difference is not entirely comparable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iOS version<\/strong> had a closed structure<\/strong>, only accessible in the US and Canada<\/strong>, and required an invitation<\/strong> to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the Android version<\/strong> was made available in the US, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam<\/strong>. OpenAI<\/strong> also removed the invitation requirement<\/strong> at the end of October, making the application available to a wider user base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular from Day One<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sora<\/strong> had also garnered significant attention during its iOS phase<\/strong>. The application reached over 1 million downloads<\/strong> within a week of its launch and quickly became one of the most popular free apps<\/strong> on the App Store<\/strong>. It currently remains the fourth most downloaded application<\/strong> on the US App Store<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users Are Creating Their Own AI Videos<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sora<\/strong> allows users to create short videos with AI<\/strong> by simply writing a prompt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the application’s “Cameos<\/strong>” feature, users can also include themselves or their friends as animated characters<\/strong> in the videos. The generated videos can be viewed by navigating through a TikTok-style vertical feed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Updated Data and Interest in the US<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Appfigures<\/strong> also updated its initial estimates for the iOS launch<\/strong>. The first-day download count, initially estimated at 56,000, was actually approximately 110,000<\/strong>, with 69,300<\/strong> of these originating from the US<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast, the Android version<\/strong> achieved 296,000 downloads<\/strong> in the US alone<\/strong>, contributing to the total of 470,000 downloads<\/strong>. This indicates that interest in the application remains strong even after the initial launch excitement on iOS subsided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rival Meta AI Steps onto the Stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sora<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is now in direct competition with Meta AI<\/strong>. Following its US launch, Meta<\/strong> has made its mobile AI application<\/strong> available to European users as of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
