Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company xAI filed a federal lawsuit on Wednesday against OpenAI, accusing its rival of orchestrating a "coordinated, unfair, and unlawful campaign" to steal proprietary technology through targeted employee poaching. The complaint, filed in California, alleges OpenAI "by hook or by crook" induced former xAI employees to misappropriate the company's entire source code, training methods, and data center deployment strategies.
