OpenAI has discontinued Sora 2. You can no longer start a new Sora 2 or Sora 2 Pro video in Writingmate. We have removed both models from the video selector and stopped accepting new jobs through the video API.
What changes in Writingmate?
If you previously selected Sora 2, open the video generator and choose another available model. Google Veo 3.1 is a good starting point when your clip needs dialogue or other generated audio. Seedance, Kling, and PixVerse offer other controls for image-based clips, motion, and iteration. Available durations and resolutions appear after you select a model.
Existing videos in your library remain available when their files have already been stored by Writingmate. Jobs that were still waiting on OpenAI may not finish now that the provider has ended the service. If a saved video does not load, contact support with the video ID so we can check its stored copy.
What if I use the API?
New requests with sora-2 or sora-2-pro return HTTP 410 with the code model_discontinued. Update the model field to a current video model, such as veo-3.1-generate-preview. The Developer Key API guide lists the available model IDs. Requests that omit the model now default to Veo 3.1.
Why did this happen?
OpenAI ended Sora availability, including its video API. This is a provider decision; Writingmate cannot restore the retired model. See OpenAI's discontinuation notice for its account and content guidance.
To create a new video, open Writingmate's video generator and select one of the current models.
