OpenAI has asked a federal judge to throw out Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, and it has not been polite about it. In a motion filed Wednesday in the US District Court for the Northern District of California, the ChatGPT maker argued that Apple is using litigation to paper over a problem of its own making: it cannot hold on to its engineers, and it cannot ship competitive AI.

The ChatGPT-maker issued a lengthy public statement disputing claims from Apple’s trade secrets lawsuit and shared iMessage chats and emails.

Apple has sought a preliminary injunction against OpenAI and two former Apple engineers in its trade-secrets case over OpenAI’s hardware push.

The clapback isn’t a blog this time.
