OpenAI in talks to revive Sora model, FBI arrests employee over hidden recorder

OpenAI is reportedly in discussions to revive its text-to-video model, Sora, through a potential partnership with a startup co-founded by Jeffrey Katzenberg and former Sora lead Bill Peebles. According to The Information, if a deal is reached, OpenAI could gain equity in the startup. Additionally, OpenAI disclosed the discovery of a hidden recording device in its office. The device was traced to an employee, leading to an FBI arrest. The incident has not affected OpenAI’s proprietary data or customer information, according to initial reports. Meanwhile, Anthropic is developing its own source control system called Scion, though fewer details are available on this project. Observers should monitor developments in the Sora revival talks, as a successful deal could significantly impact OpenAI’s financial outlook.
