BlockBeats News, July 15th, in response to the trade secret lawsuit filed by Apple, OpenAI stated that the company "has not found any evidence to suggest that the related accusations are substantiated," emphasizing respect for fair competition, supporting the free flow of talent, and currently focusing on independent research and innovation.

Apple recently sued claiming that OpenAI, in developing an AI hardware product, was suspected of using former Apple employees to obtain company trade secrets, and accused the OpenAI hardware team of inducing job applicants to bring Apple's internal data and assisting in circumventing company security checks.

A former iPhone engineer who left this year to join OpenAI was also accused of illegally obtaining engineering presentation slides and other internal documents. Apple stated that the OpenAI hardware team was "built on an unstable foundation" and was even "rotten to the core from the very beginning."
