SenseNova U1 Pro Vanished After Weeks of Hype — No Weights, No API, No Release

A Reddit user asks what happened to SenseSense U1 Pro: weeks after it flooded feeds as a Chinese model at "GPT Image 2 level" with clean poster text and claimed native 8K, there's no public release, no weights, no API — nothing usable anywhere.

The author likens it to the Sora playbook: mind-blowing early-2024 demos, months of silence, a launch where the magic was gone, and now Sora has fully shut down as of April 26, 2026. The poster doesn't doubt the leaked samples looked good, especially the text rendering, but wants to know if anyone has actually used U1 Pro and how its text rendering stacks up against GPT Image 2, ideogram, and flux-klein.
