Twenty-five days before Apple sued, a federal judge threw out an almost identical trade-secret case against OpenAI — brought by Elon Musk's xAI. Read Apple's complaint next to that ruling and you can watch it answering her.

This video covers active litigation. Every allegation described is Apple's claim as stated in its complaint and subsequent filings; none has been proven, and no court has ruled on the merits. OpenAI denies the allegations.
