From the video on what Sora's shutdown taught us about owning your AI

Get The Owned Stack

Sora died on April 26, 2026 and OpenAI permanently deleted everything its users ever made. This is the other path: the fact-checked free AI video stack you own — open weights on your disk that no shutdown, price hike, or IPO cleanup can touch. Inside: the 4 models with every license read out loud — Wan 2.2 (Apache 2.0, the newest Wan you can actually own — the "Wan 2.7 open download" the SEO farms push does not exist), LTX-2.3 (video + synced audio in one pass, with its $10M revenue-cap fine print), HunyuanVideo 1.5 (best quality per GB, license void in the EU/UK/South Korea), and Ovi (audio+video on a 6GB card); the free cockpits (ComfyUI, Wan2GP one-click via Pinokio) and the free finishing kit (SeedVR2, RIFE, MMAudio); the no-GPU lanes with real quotas — HF ZeroGPU, Colab, Kaggle, Modal's recurring $30/month credits, and $0.17/hr rented 3090s; the GCP/AWS/Azure free-credit traps; the VRAM ladder; and the real render times. Facts verified June 2026.
