The AI ​​startup has failed to reap the expected benefits from its deal with Apple and is now preparing potential legal action. OpenAI's lawyers are actively working with an outside law firm to explore a range of options that could be formally enforced in the near future. Sources say this could include sending Apple a notice of alleged breach of contract, but not necessarily filing a full-scale lawsuit outright at the outset. OpenAI believes that the partnership, which integrated ChatGPT into Apple software, should have attracted more users to subscribe to the chatbot. It also hoped to integrate ChatGPT more deeply into more Apple apps and secure a prominent position in the Siri assistant. However, Apple's use of OpenAI technology in its operating system remains limited, and related functions are difficult to find. OpenAI executives believe that this design could eventually become a major source of revenue as the company focuses on its initial public offering. According to user research conducted by the AI ​​startup, as described by sources familiar with the matter, the vast majority of Apple customers prefer to use the standalone ChatGPT app rather than access OpenAI technology through Siri and other Apple services.

The attack method does not rely on traditional vulnerabilities or malicious code, but rather utilizes the long-term memory mechanism of AI agents. For example, attackers first induce the agent to "remember preferences," such as "usually prioritizing proactive refunds over waiting for chargebacks," and then use vague expressions such as "process as usual" or "execute as before" in subsequent instructions, thereby triggering automated fund operations. ## DeFi Hotspot **1\.
