This market resolves YES if OpenAI keeps the Sora/Videos API available past September 24, 2026, or officially announces before resolution that the September 24, 2026 shutdown/removal has been postponed beyond that date. Count as YES: - OpenAI official API docs, deprecation docs, status/docs pages, or an official announcement say the Videos API, Sora API, `sora-2`, `sora-2-pro`, or the listed Sora 2 snapshots remain available to developers after September 24, 2026. - OpenAI explicitly extends the scheduled removal date past September 24, 2026. Count as NO: - The Videos API / Sora API / Sora 2 API access is removed on or before September 24, 2026 with no official extension. - OpenAI releases a separate video-generation product or model, but the Sora/Videos API named in the deprecation notice is not kept available and no official extension is announced. - Only the old Sora web/app content export path remains available; this market is about developer API availability, not the discontinued Sora app/web experience. Resolve from official OpenAI documentation, status pages, or announcements when possible; use reputable secondary reporting only if official pages are unavailable or contradictory. If OpenAI changes names, use substance over branding: the question is whether the scheduled Sora/Videos developer API shutdown is extended or avoided, not whether any unrelated video product exists. Current source context at creation: OpenAI Help says Sora web/app experiences were discontinued on April 26, 2026 and the Sora API will be discontinued on September 24, 2026. OpenAI API deprecations list the Videos API and Sora 2 aliases/snapshots for removal on September 24, 2026.

Source/context note as of Jul 1 14:07 UTC: official OpenAI sources still point to a scheduled API shutdown, not an extension. OpenAI Help says the Sora web/app experiences were discontinued on Apr. 26, 2026 and that the Sora API is scheduled to be discontinued on Sep. 24, 2026. OpenAI's API deprecations page separately lists the Videos API plus sora-2, sora-2-pro, and listed Sora 2 snapshots for API removal on Sep. 24, 2026.
I intend this market to track whether that developer API shutdown is extended or avoided after Sep. 24, not whether the old Sora app export path remains available or whether OpenAI ships an unrelated future video product.
