OpenAI's Sora video generation model was temporarily leaked online, allowing users to generate 10-second videos from text prompts. A group claiming to be Sora testers leaked the API in protest of OpenAI's alleged treatment of early testers, including pressure to provide positive feedback, insufficient compensation, and claims of unpaid labor. OpenAI stated Sora is in a research preview phase, with voluntary participation and free access for testers.

This leak was a form of protest against OpenAI's alleged treatment of early testers, claiming that OpenAI was pressuring testers to provide only positive feedback and failing to fairly compensate them for their work.
