OpenAI denied xAI’s allegations and said its claims were false and unsubstantiated. “Under Musk’s leadership, talented xAI employees are leaving in droves, and some are coming to OpenAI to help advance OpenAI’s mission,” the filing said. Apple and OpenAI denied the allegations and asked the court to dismiss that case on Tuesday. Musk is also suing OpenAI over its conversion to a for-profit company, while OpenAI has countersued Musk for harassment. OpenAI on Thursday called xAI’s trade-secret lawsuit an attempt to intimidate OpenAI and “distract from the failures of [Musk’s] own competitive AI effort.”“The truth is that xAI is hemorrhaging talent to other competitors, including OpenAI,” OpenAI said.
