Apple just sued OpenAI, and the wildest part is how they got caught: one candidate screenshotted confidential Apple files on his Apple work laptop hours before his OpenAI interview. Apple reads its own server logs. The recruiting pipeline generated its own evidence trail.

The complaint says OpenAI's hardware chief Tang Tan, a 24-year Apple veteran, directed candidates still employed at Apple to bring "actual parts" (batteries, logic boards) to interviews for show and tell sessions. One candidate was surprised, saying he didn't even know you could take those out of the office.

Apple also alleges Tan circulated an internal Apple offboarding document to coach new hires on dodging exit security checks, and that a departing engineer kept his Apple laptop, found a bug that still gave him access to Apple's cloud storage, and downloaded dozens of confidential hardware files after joining OpenAI.

Then the supplier: OpenAI allegedly got one of Apple's manufacturing partners to demonstrate a proprietary metal finishing technique by letting the partner believe Apple had approved it.

Over 400 former Apple employees now work at OpenAI. Apple says it flagged all of this to OpenAI in February and never got a response. Five months later, it filed.

The ask reveals the strategy. Apple wants an injunction barring OpenAI from using the secrets, the return of every file, and full discovery into io, right as OpenAI preps its first device launch and an IPO. If a judge grants it, OpenAI may have to prove the device was built clean, component by component, before it ships.

The device was supposed to run on the world's best hardware talent. Now its bill of materials is evidence.

Grok 4.5 is now available as an orchestrator model in Computer for Consumer Pro and Max subscribers.

We evaluated it against five other orchestrator configurations on WANDR. It scored higher than every other configuration at roughly half the cost of Opus 4.8. https://t.co/3WjjiB6z8Z

Starship’s thirteenth flight test is preparing to launch as early as Thursday, July 16 → https://t.co/Rp7VwBzpWx https://t.co/jdpFlQUEpF

SpaceX just announced that they will be deploying V3 Starlink satellites for the first time during their 13th Starship test flight next week! Six of the satellites have been modified with a suite of cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery.

Summary of every major upgrade and modification @SpaceX says it's made for the upcoming test flight:
• More robust stage separation flip sequence to prevent the booster from rotating off course.
• Hardware upgrades to improve Super Heavy Raptor re-light reliability during the boostback burn.
• Updated engine alarms and abort logic for multi-engine flight conditions.
• Starship propulsion system hardware and operational changes to address the Flight 12 engine-out issue.
• First deployment of 20 Starlink V3 satellites with laser links, deployable solar arrays, and antennas.
• Six Starlink V3 satellites equipped with cameras to inspect Starship's heat shield after reentry.
• White-painted heat shield tiles added as simulated missing tiles and imaging targets.
• New heat shield tile designs and attachment mechanisms, including tests on the aft flaps and aft skirt.
• Load-sensing heat shield tiles to measure stresses during flight.
• Higher dynamic pressure ascent profile to stress-test the heat shield and increase payload capability.
• Planned in-space Raptor engine relight test.

SpaceX: "For the first time, Starship will carry V3 Starlink satellites to space, which aim to greatly expand the network's capacity and user speeds. As part of this initial test, Starship is planned to deploy 20 satellites which will extend solar arrays and antennas and will attempt to connect with ground stations in South Africa and the larger Starlink constellation via high-capacity lasers. Six of the satellites have been modified with a suite of cameras to scan Starship’s heat shield and transmit imagery down to operators to continue testing methods of analyzing Starship’s heat shield readiness for return to launch site on future missions. Several tiles on Starship have been painted white to simulate missing tiles and serve as imaging targets in the test."

Grok 4.5 from @SpaceXAI places #2 on the APEX-SWE leaderboard at 51.2% Pass@1 (±6.0), behind Fable 5 (65.5% ±6.2) on our benchmark for real-world software engineering work.

It leads Integration (65.0% Pass@1) and places #2 in Observability (37.3% Pass@1), covering multi-step build tasks and diagnosis/debugging respectively. The Integration lead maps directly to the agentic workflows Grok 4.5 was built for: multi-step coding tasks run in collaboration with Cursor.

Grok models have improved 30.2 pp in a year on this benchmark: Grok 4 (21.0% Pass@1) to Grok 4.5 (51.2% Pass@1).

Congratulations to the xAI and Cursor teams.

Grok 4.5 just topped Perplexity’s WANDR orchestrator evaluation

It scored higher than every other tested configuration at just $4.76 per trial....roughly half the cost of Opus 4.8

Grok 4.5 is becoming the powerful brain coordinating entire agentic workflows

It’s now available as an orchestrator model in Perplexity Computer for Consumer Pro and Max subscribers

@OpenAI released 3 new models yesterday and we immediately tested it on our internal benchmark.

All three outperforming gpt-5.5 but @SpaceXAI still the clear winner with Grok-4.5 https://t.co/gX9tfeAxi5

At 7:15 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command forces began launching the third round of strikes this week against Iran after Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces blatantly attacked M/V GFS Galaxy, a Cyprus-flagged container ship transiting the Strait of Hormuz. A civilian crew member is missing and the vessel is unable to continue the journey due to an onboard fire and significant engineroom damage.

Iran was provided yet another opportunity to demonstrate adherence to the Memorandum of Understanding after being held accountable for earlier attacks on commercial vessels but has again failed.

In response, the United States is imposing a heavy cost by continuing to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian mariners and commercial ships freely transiting the strait. The strikes are being carried out at the direction of the Commander in Chief.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🚢U.S. gives Iran Saturday deadline to publicly renounce Hormuz attacks and announce that the strait is open, U.S. officials say. My report on @axios
