What fight? OpenAI is getting nothing from Apple just like Bloomberg is not getting any money for me to read their article.

If I’m reading this correctly, OpenAI is upset because Apple hasn’t made their features visible enough yet.

Which seems like a bonkers reason to try and sue, and one which could backfire spectacularly on them, if Apple sends people into court to testify under oath that OpenAI’s features didn’t ship because they didn’t meet quality bars.

(Also, between this and the “please try Enterprise Codex, we’ll give you two months of free credits” announcement from a couple days ago, there’s a real whiff of desperation coming from OpenAI lately. They must really be feeling the heat from Anthropic)

It sounds like Apple is re-learning the lesson that relying on a 3rd party can be a liability.

The article makes it sound like OpenAI is really entitled in this one. Also legal action is obviously going to be a strong signal of OpenAI's friendliness /s.
