A federal judge has denied OpenAI's request to access a confidential settlement agreement between Apple and SpaceXAI in an antitrust case. The judge reviewed the materials and determined they were irrelevant to OpenAI's bid. This decision prevents OpenAI from seeing the details of the private settlement between the two companies, as the court found no pertinent connection to the ongoing antitrust proceedings.

This ruling marks the first time a court has explicitly deemed the Apple-SpaceXAI settlement irrelevant to OpenAI's antitrust claims, unlike previous speculation.
