OpenAI claims an ex-employee took its product plans and presented them to Apple

OpenAI has accused an unnamed former employee of taking more than 100 files related to its product plans before joining Apple. In a court filing, OpenAI alleges the employee sent the information to a personal account and presented it to Apple leadership, including the vice president of operations in Asia. The files reportedly contained images of at least one unreleased device, supplier information, engineering data, project files, standards for cosmetic finishes, and reports about the coating and sealing of hardware components. OpenAI also links Apple's new HomeView smart display and other recently revealed devices to that presentation, claiming it happened months ago and that Apple is now making a new push into AI-enabled products. The filing is tied to an ongoing legal battle between Apple and OpenAI over trade secrets, with Apple separately accusing OpenAI of stealing confidential documents and spying on hardware prototypes.
