In the early hours of February 16, OpenAI launched its text-to-video model Sora, capable of generating videos up to 60 seconds long with highly detailed scenes, complex camera movements, and emotionally expressive characters—once again dramatically advancing AI's creative capabilities. That evening, a namesake meme token, Sora, surged first, rising as much as 20x from its 15-minute closing price. Subsequently, various AI-related tokens began a sustained rally that continues to this day.
Odaily Planet Daily presents in this article an overview of relevant tokens, their AI concepts, classifications, and market cap data.
OpenAI Founder-Related Concepts

While WLD currently lacks practical use cases, its association with OpenAI’s founder has made it perform well during past AI-driven market rallies.
ARKM (Arkham)
Circulating Market Cap: $210 million
Concept: Arkham is a blockchain analytics platform leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to de-anonymize blockchain and on-chain data. The platform consists of two main components: an analytics platform and an Intel Exchange.
