On Friday, according to local time, U.S. Federal Judge Rita Lin signaled her potential inclination to dismiss the legal action initiated by xAI against OpenAI. xAI alleged that OpenAI had pilfered trade secrets to secure an unfair competitive edge. Nevertheless, at the outset, the judge was of the opinion that xAI had failed to present compelling evidence to substantiate its claims that OpenAI had either procured or facilitated the theft of trade secrets. Additionally, xAI could not demonstrate that OpenAI had made use of its purported trade secrets. The conclusive verdict is pending the oral argument scheduled for February 3rd. Should the case be dismissed, xAI retains the option to revise its assertions in the lawsuit.
