OpenAI Weighs Breach-of-Contract Notice Against Apple as Apple Tests Claude, Gemini
OpenAI is weighing whether to send Apple a breach-of-contract notice over its two-year artificial-intelligence partnership, a move that would escalate a dispute over ChatGPT's underwhelming performance inside Apple Intelligence without immediately filing suit. The rift is widening as Apple tests Siri integrations with Anthropic's Claude and Google Gemini, raising questions about OpenAI's place in the iPhone maker's AI lineup.
The deal, unveiled at WWDC 2024, was expected by OpenAI to generate billions of dollars a year through broader distribution, but it has delivered only a fraction of the hoped-for revenue and weaker user growth. Internal data indicated users largely preferred the standalone ChatGPT app over Apple's more limited integration, and OpenAI has been working with a law firm on potential action while Apple has bristled at the startup's recruiting of its hardware engineers and its work with former Apple design chief Jony Ive on a competing device.
