Apple 请求法院禁止 OpenAI 使用其所称被带走的硬件机密

Bloomberg: Apple wants a federal judge to bar OpenAI from using hardware secrets it says former employees carried over. US District Judge Edward Davila in San Jose hears that injunction request alongside OpenAI’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit. This is the lawsuit’s first major hearing since Apple sued in July. Apple says Liu, who joined OpenAI in January, exploited an authentication bug to reach Apple’s network storage and download confidential files. Apple’s later filings say he simulated a downloaded power converter schematic in LTspice and told a colleague his AI agent could adjust the circuit itself. Apple also claims OpenAI told job candidates to bring prototypes and other “design artifacts” for “show and tell” interview sessions. An injunction would land as OpenAI readies a smart speaker priced above $300 and an IPO at a targeted $1.4T valuation. Apple’s hardest task is tracing a specific file from Liu’s downloads into OpenAI’s actual product work.
