"OpenAI has enlisted an outside law firm to work through its options, which could include sending Apple a formal breach-of-contract notice without necessarily escalating to a full lawsuit (at least not immediately). Any legal move would likely wait until after the conclusion of OpenAI's ongoing trial with Elon Musk."
"The OpenAI partnership, announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2024, wove ChatGPT into Apple's operating systems as an option within Siri and as part of the iPhone's Visual Intelligence feature (allowing users to use their camera to analyze their surrounds and send photos to ChatGPT with related questions)."
"Instead, Bloomberg reports, OpenAI has grown increasingly aggravated, complaining that the integration has been buried, its features hard to find, and that revenue from the tie-up is nowhere close to projections. "They basically said, 'OpenAI needs to take a leap of faith and trust us,'" one OpenAI executive told Bloomberg. "It didn't work out well.""
OpenAI is considering legal options against Apple after a ChatGPT integration failed to deliver expected subscriber growth and prominence. OpenAI has hired an outside law firm to evaluate possible next steps, including sending a formal breach-of-contract notice without immediately filing a full lawsuit. Any legal action may be delayed until after OpenAI’s ongoing trial with Elon Musk concludes. The partnership added ChatGPT to Siri and to iPhone Visual Intelligence, enabling camera-based analysis and related questions. Expectations included billions in new subscriptions and prominent placement in a major mobile ecosystem. Instead, OpenAI reports increasing frustration, citing buried features, difficulty finding capabilities, and revenue far below projections.
