The next move
Find every video-generation dependency and decide whether to replace or retire the feature.
What the vendor says
OpenAI lists September 24, 2026 as the shutdown date for its Videos API and the Sora 2 models listed here. Its deprecation table names no recommended replacement.

Why it matters
A model-name swap is not an established migration path. A feature that depends on this API needs an explicit continuity decision.
AI-Buzz suggested checks
Turn the notice into a task.
- Search application code, environment settings and background jobs for the affected IDs and video endpoint.
- Identify the user-facing behavior that depends on generated video, including queued or retried jobs.
- Choose a replacement workflow or a clear unavailable state; test that decision before the announced shutdown.
What this does not establish
This notice concerns API access. It does not establish the status of consumer Sora products. AI-Buzz has not called the endpoint or tested alternatives.
