> not to see all the spam their model was making when they did release it. All replaced by open source LLMs at this point. Most AI video will be produced by Hunyuan [1], LTX [2], and Mochi [3] in short order. These are the Flux / Stable Diffusion models for generative video. These can all be fine tuned to produce incredible results, and work with the Comfy ecosystem for wildly creative and controllable workflows. I don't think it'll be possible for a closed source tool to compete with the open image/video ecosystem. Dall-E certainly didn't stay competitive for long. It's a totally different game.

You don't need to worry. Open source video is already pulling ahead of closed source. Hunyuan [1] is better than Sora Turbo and is 100% open source. It's got fine tuning code, LoRA training code, multiple modalities, controlnets, ComfyUI compatibility, and is rapidly growing an ecosystem around it. Hunyuan is going to be the Stable Diffusion / Flux for video, and that doesn't bode well for Sora. Nobody even uses Dall-E in conversation anymore, and I expect the same to hold true for closed source foundation video models. And if one company developing foundation video models in the open isn't good enough, then Lightricks' LTX and Genmo's Mochi should provide additional reassurance that this is going to be commoditized and made readily available to everyone. I've even heard from the Banodoco [2] grapevine that Meta is considering releasing t

That's not the upstream source. You're looking for this: https://github.com/Tencent/HunyuanVideo/ This isn't "too good to be true" - this is the holy grail. Hunyuan is set to become the Flux/Stable Diffusion of AI video. I don't see how Hunyuan doesn't completely kill off Sora. It's 100% open source, is rapidly being developed for consumer PCs, can be fine tuned, works with ComfyUI/other tools, and it has control nets.
In Sora is here
HunYuan released by Tencent [1] is much better than Sora. It's 100% open source, is compatible with fine tuning, ComfyUI, control nets, and is receiving lots of active development. That's not the only open video model, either. Lightricks' LTX, Genmo's Mochi, and Black Forest Labs' upcoming models will all be open source video foundation models. Sora is commoditized like Dall-E at this point. Video will be dominated by players like Flux and Stable Diffusion. [1] https://github.com/Tencent/HunyuanVideo/
In Sora is here
For those who can't try Sora out, Tencent's super recent HunYuan is 100% open source and outperforms Sora. It's compatible with fine tuning, ComfyUI development, and is getting all manner of ControlNets and plugins. I don't see how Sora can stay in this race. The open source commoditization is going to hit hard, and OpenAI probably doesn't have the product DNA or focus to bark up this tree too. Tencent isn't the only company releasing open weights. Genmo, Black Forest Labs, and Lightricks are developing completely open source video models, and that's . Even if there weren't open source competitors, there are a dozen closed source foundation video companies: Runway, Pika, Kling, Hailuo, etc. I don't think OpenAI can afford to divert attention and win in this space. It'll be another Dall-E vs. Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion. https://git

In Sora is here
For those not in this space, Sora is essentially dead on arrival. Sora performs worse than closed source Kling and Hailuo, but more importantly, it's already trumped by open source too. Tencent is releasing a fully open source Hunyuan model [1] that is better than all of the SOTA closed source models. Lightricks has their open source LTX model and Genmo is pushing Mochi as open source. Black Forest Labs is working on video too. Sora will fall into the same pit that Dall-E did. SaaS doesn't work for artists, and open source always trumps closed source models. Artists want to fine tune their models, add them to ComfyUI workflows, and use ControlNets to precision control the outputs. Images are now almost 100% Flux and Stable Diffusion, and video will soon be 100% Hunyuan and LTX. Sora doesn't have much market apart from name recognition at

this point. It's just another inflexible closed source model like Runway or Pika. Open source has caught up with state of the art and is pushing past it. [1] https://github.com/Tencent/HunyuanVideo
