OpenAI says Apple's trade secrets lawsuit is "aggressive and oddly personal"
4 August 2026 at 13:38
OpenAI has accused Apple of waging a βcareless, aggressive and oddly personal lawsuitβ in a blog post rebutting the iPhone makerβs claims that the AI start-up stole top-secret information.
βWe do not have, nor want, any of their trade secrets,β the ChatGPT maker wrote on Monday evening, accusing Apple of βmaking vague accusationsβ and βtrying to change their narrative.β
The post marks the latest escalation in a dispute that began last month when Apple filed a lawsuit claiming OpenAI had stolen hardware designs as it planned to launch its own AI-focused consumer devices.
