Apple asks court to order OpenAI to provide access to hardware device

Apple is asking a court to compel OpenAI to provide access to a hardware device under development as part of a trade secrets lawsuit. OpenAI has hired about 400 former Apple employees, including lead designers, and Apple argues confidentiality cannot be restored after the product launches.

• Apple filed a request with Judge Edward Davila in case 5:26-cv-07078
• OpenAI hired about 400 former Apple employees, including lead designers
• Apple fears secrets cannot be recovered after the device launches
• Likely compromise is an independent expert instead of direct Apple access
