Apple Sues OpenAI Over Stolen Hardware Secrets | Tech News

Apple is suing OpenAI over alleged theft of proprietary hardware secrets, claiming ex-Apple exec Tang Tan and others secretly transferred confidential tech to OpenAI, even coaching insiders on how to bypass Apple’s security. The lawsuit accuses OpenAI of building its hardware operations on stolen IP, echoing the high-stakes Waymo-Uber IP battle—with Apple now turning to Google for AI instead of OpenAI. Once partners, the two giants are now locked in a fierce hardware race, as OpenAI hires hundreds of Apple ex-employees and acquires io Products, co-founded by Tan. Apple seeks to halt the alleged theft, recover stolen assets, and claim damages in what could become another landmark Silicon Valley showdown.
