OpenAI remains the central defendant in Elon Musk's antitrust litigation, after Musk resolved his separate claims against Apple but kept the allegations against OpenAI active.
Ars Technica reports that Musk resolved all claims against Apple and agreed never to raise them again, while refusing to drop the same claims against OpenAI.
Musk had earlier accused Apple of blocking rivals. He wrote last August that "Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store."
OpenAI has denied the allegations and dismissed Musk's filing as an effort to harass the company as his own AI venture tries to compete.
Roots of the dispute
The case traces to Apple's 2024 decision to embed ChatGPT into iPhone features. Musk's firms said the move advantaged OpenAI and disadvantaged rivals.
Apple has argued the integration was non-exclusive, and said it planned to support multiple providers.
Heading to trial
This summer a court ordered Apple to hand over internal messages about the OpenAI deal, evidence Musk's teams may use to refine their market-foreclosure theory.
The narrowed litigation is set to head to trial this autumn.
