OpenAI has issued a public response to Apple's lawsuit, framing the legal action as baseless and accusing Apple of mischaracterising the situation. The company says the claims about its employees are wrong and has moved to correct the record directly.
To back its position, OpenAI shared internal messages that it says show the actual sequence of events. The company argues that the evidence contradicts Apple's version, and that the lawsuit rests on distorted or incomplete information.
This is a he-said-she-said dispute, but OpenAI's decision to publish raw communications signals it is confident in its account. The response does not address broader legal strategy, focusing instead on rebutting the specific allegations point by point.
