Reuters reports that Apple yesterday filed a motion seeking to bar OpenAI and two former employees, Chang Liu and Tang Tan, from accessing, using, or disclosing its alleged confidential information, along with a request for expedited discovery.
"Apple will be irreparably harmed absent a preliminary injunction," the company said in its filing.
Apple filed a lawsuit against OpenAI last month, accusing the firm behind ChatGPT of stealing trade secrets related to hardware development. Nearly a month later, OpenAI has published a detailed response to many of Apple’s claims in the form of a blog post.
The scientific context matters more than the headline: the finding only earns its place once independent teams have checked the method and the results.
What to watch:
- peer review, replication, or follow-up research from other teams
- whether the method moves from lab testing into real-world systems
- clear explanations of limits, uncertainty, and what still needs proof
