OpenAI is requesting Meta to present evidence of any coordinated plans with Elon Musk and xAI regarding the acquisition or investment in the ChatGPT-maker.
OpenAI’s Lawsuit Against Elon Musk:
OpenAI’s lawyers have filed a brief in Elon Musk’s lawsuit, revealing that they subpoenaed Meta in June for documents related to Musk’s unsolicited $97 billion bid to take over the startup. It remains unclear if such documents exist, as OpenAI ultimately rejected Musk’s bid.
Communication Between Musk and Meta:
Lawyers representing OpenAI discovered that Musk communicated with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding xAI’s bid to purchase the ChatGPT-maker, discussing potential financing arrangements or investments.
Meta’s Response:
Meta objected to OpenAI’s initial subpoena in July and is now seeking a court order to obtain the requested evidence. Additionally, OpenAI is asking the court for any documents and communications from Meta related to any restructuring or recapitalization of OpenAI, which is the central issue in Musk’s lawsuit.
Investments and Developments:
Meta has heavily invested in developing AI models to compete with OpenAI. Court filings revealed Meta’s efforts to surpass OpenAI’s GPT-4 model, although by early 2025, Meta’s AI models had fallen behind industry standards, leading to frustration from Zuckerberg.
Pressure from Meta:
Zuckerberg has been poaching leading AI researchers from OpenAI and investing in other AI labs, indicating the competitive landscape between Meta and OpenAI. Talks between Musk and Zuckerberg signify the perceived threat OpenAI poses in the AI industry.
Legal Dispute:
Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI is part of a larger legal battle surrounding OpenAI’s conversion into a public benefit corporation. Musk opposes the restructuring, claiming it deviates from the startup’s initial mission.
Final Thoughts:
The evolving dynamics between OpenAI, Meta, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg underscore the intense competition and legal complexities in the AI industry.
