Apple has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging a 'coordinated campaign' to systematically poach employees and steal trade secrets related to unreleased products. The complaint states that over 400 former Apple employees now work at OpenAI, including former iPhone design chief Tang Tan. The lawsuit comes as OpenAI is forming its own hardware division, with its first product not expected to ship until at least 2027. For teams focused on hardware supply chains, this case highlights the intellectual property risks in talent mobility. For developers using OpenAI's services, if the lawsuit restricts OpenAI, it could impact model delivery timelines and technology choices.
