Sora for Android Reaches 470,000 Installs on First Day

Nov 7, 2025
The Sora app from OpenAI recorded approximately 470,000 installs on Android within its first day, marking a significant expansion beyond its earlier iOS release. The app is now available in multiple countries without an invite requirement.

The Android version of the Sora app from OpenAI saw an estimated 470,000 installs on its first day, marking a strong start for the AI video creation platform. The app is available in the U.S., Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The Android rollout follows the earlier iOS launch, which was limited to the U.S. and Canada and required an invite. The invite restriction was lifted in late October for several key markets, opening access to a wider user base.

The Android launch outperformed the iOS debut, which initially recorded around 110,000 first-day downloads. The majority of Android installs, approximately 296,000, came from users in the U.S. The app allows users to generate videos using prompts and features a 'Cameos' function that animates users and their friends within scenes.

Sora continues to maintain strong engagement on iOS, where it remains among the top free apps in the U.S. App Store. Its expansion to Android underscores growing interest in AI-driven video creation tools.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
