OpenAI says SEC disclosures undermine xAI’s antitrust lawsuit

ChatGPT maker OpenAI asked a Texas federal judge to throw out an antitrust lawsuit brought by Elon ​Musk’s AI startup xAI before trial, arguing that disclosures by xAI parent company ‌SpaceX undermine claims that Apple’s partnership with OpenAI shut out ​rivals.

OpenAI on Tuesday asked ⁠US District Judge Mark Pittman in Fort Worth to rule for OpenAI based on the facts so far in the case, which is now set for ‌a trial in January.

Musk’s companies sued Apple and OpenAI last year, alleging Apple violated antitrust law by exclusively ‌integrating ChatGPT into Apple Intelligence features on iPhones and other ‌Apple devices.

Apple and OpenAI have denied any wrongdoing. Apple previously said ⁠its integration deal with OpenAI was not exclusive. X said last week it has settled with Apple, but the terms have not been disclosed.
