The Information reports a stealth startup building AI video tools for filmmakers
is negotiating with OpenAI for rights to the Sora model, with plans to modify
its capabilities and sell software or services built on it. The firm, founded
months ago by Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, former Sora research head
Bill Peebles and a former Dropbox CFO, has not disclosed its name. It is unclear
whether the startup will obtain Sora's model weights; insiders say a deal would
likely include deep access sufficient for substantial customization.
