About OpenAI Sora 2

OpenAI Sora 2 via Azure AI Foundry — text-to-video AND image-to-video at 720p with synchronized audio. 4s default; 4, 8, or 12s. Portrait or landscape. Image-to-video takes a non-human reference image (human faces are rejected upstream — use Seedance + RealFace for real people). $0.10/sec. It is built by OpenAI and served through BlockRun's video generation API, which means you can call it without an account, an API key, or a subscription. Requests are paid for individually, in USDC, at the moment they are made.

What it costs

Sora 2 is billed by the length of the clip it produces. A default 4-second generation costs $0.421, settlement fee included, and the maximum supported length is 12 seconds. The exact price is quoted in the 402 before you pay. Generation is asynchronous: the API returns a job you poll, and the finished MP4 is mirrored to BlockRun storage so the URL does not expire.

Calling it from your code

Pass azure/sora-2 as the model field to the video generation endpoint. The response contains a job id; poll it until the clip is ready.

The first request comes back as an HTTP 402 carrying a signed price quote. Your client signs that quote with a wallet holding USDC and retries; the second request returns the completion, and the payment settles on-chain. Client libraries handle this handshake for you, so in practice it is a single call.
