OpenAI responds to Apple’s trade-secrets lawsuit by publicly disputing Apple’s claims and sharing internal communications. In a statement posted in response to the litigation, OpenAI argues that Apple’s allegations are inaccurate and presents details intended to challenge Apple’s account of events. Multiple outlets report that OpenAI makes portions of iMessage chats and email correspondence public as part of its rebuttal. The Verge describes OpenAI’s move as bringing the dispute into “the court of public opinion,” citing a blog post where OpenAI contests the premise of Apple’s case and characterizes Apple’s framing as misplaced. Forbes and The Economic Times similarly report that OpenAI issues a lengthy public response and counters Apple’s assertion that OpenAI stole trade secrets. India Today reports that OpenAI “breaks silence” on the lawsuit by releasing internal chats. Across coverage, the common thread is that OpenAI’s public counterstatement includes the release of excerpts from communications Apple references, while OpenAI maintains that the lawsuit’s underlying claims do not hold. The dispute remains ongoing in the courts, with both sides presenting competing versions of the facts.
