Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented: upgrade the OpenAI client to get videos; use the synchronous sample in notebooks to avoid the asyncio.run error.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- openai-python 3.1.0 changelog notes "deprecate Sora video APIs"; check current availability before building on it.
Other error fragments:
- RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
