OpenAI announced that its Sora video generator will now cap free usage at six videos per day, citing GPU strain and a desire to keep the service widely accessible. At the same time, Google’s nano banana pro image generator, part of the Gemini suite, is restricting free users to two generated or edited images daily, down from the previous limit of three. Both companies say the limits apply only to free tiers, while paid subscribers retain higher or unlimited access. The changes reflect growing demand for AI‑generated media and the technical resources required to support it. Leer más →
