What happened

In a new court filing, OpenAI alleges that a former employee who moved to Apple sent "over a hundred highly confidential files about at least one unreleased OpenAI device under development" to his personal accounts before leaving the company.

Apple's response

Apple told Reuters it has not found any evidence to support these allegations, meaning the company has not confirmed that any such files reached it.

Why it matters

The dispute offers another glimpse into OpenAI's unreleased hardware efforts. It could also open a new legal front between two major tech companies over trade secrets and employee moves.

What's next

How the court handles the filing, and Apple's formal position, should become clearer in the coming days.
