A highlight of the event is the anticipated release of Sora, OpenAI’s text-to-video AI tool. Sora has been in development throughout 2024, with artists participating in an invite-only research preview to generate videos. However, its development has faced controversy, with some artists protesting its use for unpaid research and development.
Additionally, OpenAI plans to unveil a new reasoning model during the event. While specific details remain under wraps, this model is expected to enhance the AI’s problem-solving capabilities.
The “12 Days of OpenAI” will feature daily livestreams, each highlighting a new product or feature. Speculation suggests that one of these days may introduce a Santa-inspired voice for ChatGPT, as some users have noticed code changes replacing the voice mode button with a snowflake icon.

OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman, confirmed the event during The New York Times’ DealBook conference, expressing enthusiasm for the upcoming announcements. The company aims to demonstrate its commitment to innovation and transparency by engaging directly with users and the broader AI community.
This initiative comes amid a competitive landscape in AI development. Notably, Google’s video model, Veo, was launched ahead of Sora’s release, indicating a race among tech giants to lead in AI advancements.
