SOTA does not have to mean a single model.
If Sora 2 is considered SOTA, it is because it pushes the frontier on key dimensions at the same time:
long-range temporal coherence,
consistent characters and environments,
realistic physical interactions,
and strong prompt understanding.
These are areas where many earlier video models struggled or failed entirely.
However, multiple models can be SOTA simultaneously.
For example, Veo 3 may match or exceed Sora 2 on specific axes such as visual fidelity, cinematic composition, or controllability.
In practice, “SOTA” often means no clear dominant winner, but rather a small group of top-tier models that each lead in different aspects of performance.
