内容总结：

在针对OpenAI的诉讼中，苹果公司提交了其所称的“重磅证据”，以支持其关于前员工为OpenAI利益窃取商业机密的指控。这些新细节是在前苹果员工、现任职于OpenAI的刘昌（音译）的法律顾问于本月早些时候将刘的旧苹果工作笔记本电脑移交调查后浮出水面的。

苹果公司现在指控，刘昌在OpenAI的工作中使用了苹果的机密电路原理图，以及一款与苹果内部工程应用程序同名的工具。苹果声称，OpenAI“完全知晓”刘昌能够访问苹果数据，并指控刘昌在6月得知苹果正在调查他后，联合OpenAI同事彭玉婷（音译）销毁证据。

诉状中写道：“这台MacBook是被告迄今为止提供的极为有限的信息（且是在拖延数周之后才提供），它表明苹果并非在进行‘钓鱼式调查’，而是其商业机密正在被使用，证据正在被销毁。”

尽管这些新证据在公开文件中已被涂黑处理，但苹果此前提交的文件中包含刘昌的短信——他在短信中用了“笑哭”表情符号——显示他清楚自己仍可访问苹果文件。

OpenAI此前为刘昌辩护称，他在离开苹果后仅应前同事请求，为了帮助他们才访问了苹果文件。OpenAI本月早些时候在一篇博客文章中写道：“苹果现在试图把责任推给‘残留访问权限’，但他们没有透露的是，这是苹果的一个常见问题，原因是苹果在人员离职时未能妥善管理系统访问权限。”

但苹果声称，刘昌之所以能继续访问，是因为他“利用了苹果一个罕见的、此前未知的认证漏洞”。

TechCrunch已就苹果的最新指控向OpenAI寻求置评。

苹果正寻求法院发布初步禁令——即在案件审理期间阻止OpenAI基于苹果技术开发硬件的法院命令——同时要求加速证据开示程序，以快速推进取证流程，因为苹果声称可能还有其他前员工涉案。根据苹果最初的诉讼文件，目前有超过400名前苹果员工在OpenAI工作。

在对OpenAI提起的诉讼中，苹果提交了其所谓的“惊人证据”，以支持其关于前员工为OpenAI利益窃取商业机密的指控。这些新细节是在前苹果员工刘昌的律师——刘昌现就职于OpenAI——于本月早些时候交出刘昌的苹果工作笔记本电脑以供调查后浮出水面的。

苹果如今指控，刘昌在OpenAI的工作中使用了苹果的保密电路原理图，还使用了一款与苹果内部工程应用程序同名的工具。该公司声称，OpenAI对刘昌能接触到苹果数据一事“心知肚明”，并且刘昌在得知苹果正在调查他后，于6月拉拢OpenAI同事彭玉婷协助销毁证据。

诉状中写道：“这台MacBook代表了被告迄今为止提供的极其有限的信息（而且还是在拖延数周之后才交出），表明苹果并非在进行‘摸底调查’，而是其商业机密正在被使用、证据正在被销毁。”

虽然这批新证据在公开版本中被隐去，但苹果此前提交的文件中包含了刘昌的短信——他在短信中穿插了“笑哭”表情符号——显示他清楚自己仍能访问苹果的文件。

OpenAI此前为刘昌辩护，称他在离开苹果后之所以访问苹果文件，只是为了帮助请求他协助的前同事。“苹果如今试图将责任推给‘残留访问权限’，但他们也没有透露，这是苹果的一个常见问题，根源在于苹果在员工离职时未能妥善管理系统访问权限。”OpenAI在本月早些时候的一篇博客文章中写道。

但苹果声称，刘昌之所以能持续访问，是因为他“利用了一个罕见的、此前不为人知的认证漏洞”。

苹果正在寻求初步禁令——即在案件审理期间禁止OpenAI基于苹果技术开发硬件的法院命令——以及加快证据开示程序，即加速搜集证据的流程，因为该公司声称可能还有更多前雇员涉案。

根据苹果最初的诉状，目前有超过400名前苹果员工在OpenAI工作。

In its lawsuit against OpenAI, Apple filed what it calls “shocking evidence” to bolster its allegations that former employees stole trade secrets for OpenAI’s benefit. These new details emerged after the legal counsel for former Apple employee Chang Liu — who now works at OpenAI — handed over Liu’s old Apple work laptop for investigation earlier this month.
Apple now alleges that Liu used a confidential Apple circuit schematic in his work at OpenAI, as well as a tool that shares a name with an internal Apple engineering application. The company claims that OpenAI was “well-aware” of Liu’s access to Apple data, and that Liu enlisted OpenAI colleague Yu-Ting Peng to help destroy evidence in June when he learned that Apple was investigating him.
“The MacBook represents the very limited information Defendants provided so far (and only after weeks of delay), and shows Apple is not conducting ‘fishing expeditions’ but that its trade secrets are being used and evidence is being destroyed,” the filing reads.
While this new evidence is redacted from public view, past filings from Apple have included text messages from Liu — which he punctuated with “crying laughing” emojis — showing he was aware that he still had access to Apple files.
OpenAI has previously defended Liu by saying that he only accessed Apple files after he stopped working there in order to help former colleagues who asked for his assistance. “Apple now tries to shift the blame to ‘residual access,’ but they also don’t disclose that this is a common issue with Apple which is caused by them failing to properly manage system access when people leave,” OpenAI wrote in a blog post earlier this month.
But Apple claims that Liu had continued access because he “exploited a rare, previously unknown authentication bug.”
TechCrunch has requested comment from OpenAI on Apple’s newest allegations.
Apple is seeking a preliminary injunction — a court order that would block OpenAI from working on hardware based on Apple’s technology while the case is ongoing — as well as expedited discovery, a fast-tracked process for gathering evidence, since the company alleges that more former employees may also be implicated.
According to Apple’s initial filing, more than 400 former Apple employees now work at OpenAI.
