App intelligence firm Appfigures revealed that Sora reached around 627,000 iOS downloads in its first week, surpassing ChatGPT’s 606,000 downloads during its debut. What makes this surge even more remarkable is that Sora was still in invite-only mode during its launch phase.
OpenAI’s Sora Breaks Records In Under Five Days
Shortly after these numbers surfaced, Bill Peebles, OpenAI’s head of Sora, confirmed that the video-generating app hit one million downloads across platforms in under five days. That means Sora hit 1M downloads faster than ChatGPT, which previously held OpenAI’s internal record for rapid adoption.
This milestone underscores how quickly users are embracing AI video generation, just as they once flocked to AI chat tools. Peebles described the moment as “a glimpse into the next era of creative AI.”
Why Sora’s Growth Matters
Sora’s success story isn’t just about numbers—it signals a shift in how people interact with generative AI. While ChatGPT reshaped communication and productivity, Sora taps into creativity, letting users generate lifelike videos from simple text prompts.
Experts suggest that this rapid adoption reflects rising demand for accessible AI creativity tools. Sora’s ease of use and seamless video generation features make it appealing to both casual users and content creators.
The Future Of AI Video Apps
If early data is any indication, Sora’s rise could redefine how we create and consume digital content. By blending storytelling with AI, OpenAI continues to expand its reach beyond chat-based models.
For now, Sora hitting 1M downloads faster than ChatGPT marks a new high point for OpenAI—and possibly a turning point for the entire AI industry.
