OPENAI’S SORA GOES PUBLIC 🎥
Merry (early) Christmas, AI fanatics! 🎅
What happened? As part of the 12 Days of OpenAI, the company has released the long-awaited Sora video creation model. The new-and-improved Sora Turbo has been released as a standalone product at Sora.com to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users.
How does it work? From a simple text prompt, Sora Turbo allows users to create hyper-realistic videos. Users can generate videos up to 1080p in widescreen, vertical, or square formats, with durations up to 20 seconds. Features like a storyboard tool also allow frame-by-frame precision and editing, while options for integrating and remixing assets provide flexibility. OpenAI has also implemented a community feed, which showcases featured and recent creations. To protect safety and to mitigate the proliferation of deepfakes, the videos include metadata to identify their AI origins and are also given digital watermarks.
REDDIT TESTS AI-POWERED SEARCH TOOL 👩💻

I would tell a funny joke about social media, but I’m sure you’ve already Reddit. 🙃
What’s new? Reddit is testing a new AI-powered search tool called Reddit Answers.
How does it work? Reddit Answers uses AI to answer your questions with summarized information from across the platform. It offers well-organized responses with links to the original posts. Initially, Reddit Answers will be available to a limited number of users in the U.S., exclusively in English. It’s rolling out on Reddit’s web version and iOS, with Android support and expansion to other languages planned for the future.
“People know that Reddit has answers, advice, and perspectives on almost anything they're looking for, and AI-powered search is part of our longer-term vision to improve the search experience on Reddit—making it faster, smarter, and more relevant.”
Some potential issues? Reddit can be a useful platform for all sorts of things, such as how to raise chickens or how to apply to colleges. However, the platform is also known for its wide variety of opinionated and unreliable posts. This raises questions over whether data from Reddit can be relied upon for accurate information. If the information is taken with a grain of salt, however, it may turn out to be a useful feature for finding helpful tips from real people.
TORCHY’S TACOS DEBUTS SOUNDHOUND AI ORDERING 🌮

Let’s taco bout AI! 🤪
What’s going on? Torchy’s Tacos has teamed up with SoundHound AI to bring advanced voice AI technology to its 130 locations nationwide.
How does it work? With SoundHound’s Smart Ordering system, already deployed in over 10,000 restaurants worldwide, customers can now place orders simply by speaking naturally, as they would to another person. The AI system, trained on the entire Torchy’s menu, handles everything from customizing orders to answering questions about specials, ingredients, and allergen details. The system manages 100% of incoming calls, even handling multiple orders simultaneously. This innovation lets Torchy’s human staff focus on crafting fresh, made-to-order tacos while ensuring accurate, seamless, and hospitable customer service.
“At Torchy’s Tacos we want our guests to have the best experience every time they engage with the brand. Partnering with SoundHound and using their Smart Ordering system, we are able to give our guests another way to easily order our food. We know that they’ll get an easy-to-use option that ensures their orders are accurate, done on time, and they get the service they have come to expect from us. And it allows our team to be more efficient so we can elevate the total guest experience.”
