U.S. District Judge Rita F. Lin dismissed xAI’s lawsuit against OpenAI regarding allegations of poaching and trade secret theft. The court ruled that the filing failed to demonstrate that the ChatGPT maker directed former employees to steal source code or proprietary data. OpenAI is calling the litigation a baseless harassment campaign as Elon Musk’s company is reviewing its option to file an amended complaint.
