Group 1: Allegations by xAI - xAI has made three main allegations against OpenAI: violation of federal trade secret protection laws, intentional interference with xAI's economic relationships with employees, and violation of California's unfair competition laws [4]. - Specific incidents cited include the alleged theft of trade secrets by former xAI engineer Xuechen Li, who is accused of sharing confidential materials during the hiring process with OpenAI [4][5]. - Another engineer, Jimmy Fraiture, is also accused of transferring source code to personal devices during his "garden leave" period, indicating an intent to cover up his actions [5][10]. Group 2: OpenAI's Response - OpenAI has categorically denied all allegations, asserting that Xuechen Li never officially joined the company and did not transfer any confidential information [12][14]. - OpenAI claims that the actions of Fraiture during his garden leave were personal and not directed by OpenAI, and there is no evidence that he transferred any proprietary information [14][15]. - Regarding the unnamed former senior finance executive from xAI, OpenAI stated that the individual left xAI due to refusing to participate in "improper financial operations," and their subsequent hiring was unrelated to any alleged poaching [15][16].
