OpenAI's Sora Surges to No. 3 on US App Store in 48 Hours
OpenAI's latest offering, Sora, has made a splash in the AI app market. Launched exclusively in the US and Canada, it surpassed other AI apps like Google's Gemini and OpenAI's own ChatGPT in download numbers within the first 48 hours, reaching the top ranks in the US App Store. Sora's impressive start saw it log 56,000 downloads on its first day and reach 164,000 installs in its first 48 hours. This was despite being invite-only and limited to users in the US and Canada. The high demand for AI-powered video tools is evident, with Sora offering a more social, visual experience compared to text-based AI apps like ChatGPT. Notably, Sora's launch outperformed several high-profile AI competitors, including Claude and Copilot, and positioned itself right behind ChatGPT and Gemini. OpenAI's Sora has proven to be a hit with users, quickly becoming the No. 3 app on the US App Store. Its initial invite-only launch may be a strategy to test infrastructure and gauge demand before scaling up globally, similar to OpenAI's approach with ChatGPT. The success of Sora indicates a strong appetite for AI-powered video tools and a willingness to try new, innovative apps in the AI space.
