Sora Burns $15 Million Daily

OpenAI faces a massive $12 billion loss while its video app Sora burns $15 million every day.

OpenAI has suffered huge financial losses in the past three months but keeps pushing new tools like Sora, a video-making app that has quickly gained millions of users. Despite its success, the app’s daily costs have shocked analysts, reaching over $15 million a day according to Forbes.

• Sora reached 4 million downloads by October 31, even though it launched as an invite-only iOS app.

• Each 10-second AI video costs about $1.30 to generate, leading to over $5 billion yearly in expenses.

• Analysts believe AI processing costs will drop sharply, making such models far cheaper in coming years.

This shows OpenAI is taking a bold risk to dominate the AI market. By offering Sora free now, it gains user data and visibility that could fuel its next generation of smarter video models.

80% of AI Building Time is Wasted. Here's the Fix.

The Pareto Principle applies to AI builders too. 80% of your time goes to clarification and fixing mistakes. Only 20% goes to actual building.

1. You write a prompt. AI guesses.

2. You clarify.

3. AI breaks something.

4. You fix it.

5. Repeat.

That's where your time goes.

Rocket's Precision Mode flips this ratio. Over 100 commands that execute exactly what you specify. "Add payment integration" builds Stripe checkout. "Fix mobile spacing" repairs layout. "Generate hero image" creates visuals. "Connect database" sets up Supabase.

No clarification loop. No fixing AI mistakes. Just execution. What took 30 minutes now takes 3 minutes.

Focus on the 20% that matters: building your product with Rocket.new.
