Sam Altman on Sora, Energy, and Building an AI Empire
- โข
OpenAI's strategy is built on a unified thesis of scaling intelligence -- rather than making random products, every bet they make is designed to feed into a singular mission of building a vertically integrated AI empire.
โThe two most important commodities in the future are going to be intelligence and energy.โ

Sora is more than just a video generator; it's a world simulator -- the goal of the model is to teach AI to understand and predict the physical laws of the universe by learning from visual data.
- โข
Energy and compute have become the primary bottlenecks for AI progress -- the shift from software development to massive infrastructure means that securing power and hardware is now the most critical part of the scaling roadmap.
