Sudden Drop in Image Quality and Generation Time in Sora

Update to myself

(saying it here in hope its useful)

Context

After some help I got from OpenAI by mailing, It did start to:

Progress
  1. It Generates faster now (I don’t know, maybe it really is the so called during peak hours cuz.. I do LOVE to Use Sora!

  2. It Generating More higher quality more often, from now at least
    2.2 I also wondered if the change in quality might be because Sora has been trained on a much larger dataset? Maybe now it’s pulling from a wider mix of high- and low-quality data, so 50%+ and 50%+ for bad and good respectively? so it’s higher chance to get both good and bad now? what led me to this "thought": I noticed that an old prompt (like a lake or river) used to give really beautiful results, but now it sometimes looks flatter or more “clay-like,” even though I haven’t changed the prompt.

    That’s what made me think of the “more data = more variance” idea in the first place.

TLDR

  1. delays has been improving since a few days, probably was peak hours in my case.
  2. quality has been improving, maybe Sora got “improved/changed” or learned on more (good+bad) data so it maybe has more chance to give bad & good results

Thanks for reading! If I can improve, do tell me! or, if I have written something completely downright wrong, please tell me that also

TLDR of what I “did”

I didnt do much, I waited after contacting support

(Oh and I try to make it easy for readers to see what I had for problem and what solution I tried although here it was just 1. contact support after waiting a few days, 2. wait
