Accessing Sora from Russia: testing 3 alternatives with cats

The video generation service Sora has officially ceased operations. Developers announced the project's closure on March 25, 2026, and by April 26, all public services were fully shut down. API access was maintained only for a limited period until September 24. Consequently, the authors warn users against fraudulent offers of Sora access that still appear online. Given the current situation, experts recommend looking into alternative video generation tools. The article provides a comparative test of three available Sora alternatives, demonstrating their capabilities by generating videos of cats. This guide helps users find a suitable replacement for the defunct service and avoid the risks associated with using dubious resources that claim to offer access to a platform that is no longer functional.
