“If you think OpenAI Sora is a creative toy like DALLE, ... think again. Sora is a data-driven physics engine. It is a simulation of many worlds, real or fantastical. The simulator learns intricate rendering, ‘intuitive’ physics, long-horizon reasoning, and semantic grounding, all by some denoising and gradient maths.”

- Dr. Jim Fan, NVIDIA Senior Research Scientist & Lead of AI Agents
