OpenAI has asked a judge to determine that the trade secrets theft lawsuit brought by XAI Corp. against it “should never have happened” and is trying to recover more than $1 million in legal fees from the Elon Musk company. A few hours before the AI startup made the above request on Monday, xAI announced that it plans to appeal the “OpenAI robbed employees and encouraged them to steal confidential information” allegations that had been repeatedly rejected. This means that as OpenAI prepares for an IPO in the next few months, its legal dispute with XAI may continue for several months. At the same time, Apple also launched a major lawsuit on Friday, filing similar charges against OpenAI. OpenAI's attorney wrote, “Xai first sued OpenAI and then looked for evidence, forcing OpenAI to spend significant resources to refute XAI's broad, aggressive, and secret commercial claims without any evidence.”
