- OpenAI disputes Apple's account of pre-lawsuit contacts and rejects claims that former staff used confidential information.
- OpenAI shares iMessages and emails as part of its response to Apple's allegations, offering internal communications as evidence to counter the claims.
Why it matters: OpenAI is countering Apple's lawsuit narrative by disputing the timeline of pre-lawsuit contacts and presenting internal communications (iMessages, emails) as evidence, while rejecting claims that departing staff carried confidential information. The exchange surfaces competing characterizations of what happened between the companies before formal litigation began, which could shape how the court evaluates the underlying dispute.
