Google and OpenAI Limit AI Video Generation Services Due to High Demand
By
Robert Hart
Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
Summary
Google and OpenAI have implemented usage limits on their AI video generation services (Nano Banana Pro and Sora) due to overwhelming demand. OpenAI's Sora now limits free users to six video generations per day, with the option to purchase additional generations. The companies cite high demand and GPU capacity constraints as reasons for the restrictions, with OpenAI noting their "GPUs are melting." While limits for paid subscribers remain unchanged, the measures appear to be part of a broader monetization push rather than temporary restrictions.
