XAI Files Amended Complaint Against OpenAI: New Allegations And A Sharpened DTSA Strategy

The xAI v. OpenAI litigation has taken another significant turn. Two weeks after OpenAI filed its motion to dismiss (see my previous post that motion here), xAI has filed an amended complaint, introducing new details that substantially expand its allegations and strengthen the foundation of its trade secret claim under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA).

The new complaint, spanning 34 pages and supported by multiple exhibits, adds new factual allegations about the nature of xAI's alleged trade secrets, how OpenAI and its employees obtained them, and how those secrets were protected. It also broadens the cast of alleged actors and reasserts that OpenAI's conduct was part of a "coordinated pattern" of misappropriation aimed at undermining a direct competitor in the race to build next-generation AI systems.
