Overview

  • xAI and X filed a 61-page antitrust complaint in the Northern District of Texas alleging Apple and OpenAI made ChatGPT the only generative AI chatbot integrated into iOS.
  • The suit claims Apple manipulated App Store rankings and delayed updates to xAI’s Grok app to favor ChatGPT.
  • The plaintiffs seek billions in damages, a permanent injunction, and a jury trial.
  • OpenAI dismissed the case as part of Musk’s “pattern of harassment,” while Apple has said the App Store is designed to be fair and free of bias.
  • Legal analysts say the dispute could push courts to define an antitrust market for AI and assess platform-level integrations, with related litigation including an OpenAI subpoena to Meta that Meta is contesting.
