Sora 2: two menus and a closing door
One application still names this line on its public model list. One platform hosts versions of it with dated retirements of their own. Meanwhile the maker has announced that its own interface for it is discontinued, which is the tension this register was built to record. As of 2026-09-22.
| Entry | How it appears there | Announced end for this line |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Foundry | Two dated versions on a retirement schedule | 15 July and 15 October 2026 |
| invideo AI | Named on the published model list, no version given | 24 September 2026 |
Inclusion rule. An entry appears when it names this line on a page a reader can reach without an account, or when it publishes a lifecycle date for a version of it. Order. Entries publishing their own dates first, then the reseller.
1Three companies, three different endings
The maker says its interface closes on one date. A hosting platform publishes two earlier dates for its own versions. An application still lists the line with no date at all. All three statements are current.
None of them contradicts the others, because they are about different surfaces. Reading them together is the only way to see that the same model is ending three times on three schedules.
2A hosted version has its own lifecycle
The platform's two rows are versions it serves, with dates it set. So a production reaching this line through that platform is not on the maker's schedule at all, and the earlier of the platform's dates comes first.
That is the clearest example in the register of a hosting layer owning a retirement. The successor reading covers the one row here that names what follows it.
3A menu that lags an announcement
The application's list still names this line while the maker's interface is scheduled to close. Menus are marketing pages and they lag; the useful habit is checking the maker rather than the reseller.
The register keeps both statements side by side without resolving them, because resolving would mean predicting what the application does next. That prediction is exactly what sourcing rules out.

Each row is read from the page that entry publishes itself, 2026-09-22, and any date comes from whoever makes the model. Every announced date is on the calendar. Other models read this way: Single-carrier lines, Lines on several menus.
