OpenAI CEO recently reached an agreement with the iPhone maker to incorporate some OpenAI services into Jobs’ Mob’s products to save it the time and expense of inventing them itself.

Satya Nadella recently met with Sam Altman to discuss an apparent deal between OpenAI and Apple. Nadella was concerned about the potential impact of a deal on Microsoft's product ambitions particularly as it came up with $10 billion investment in the company.

Apple is playing off Google and OpenAI for the deal, which could be worth billions. If OpenAI has indeed agreed with Apple, it would be a much-needed win for Altman but will make Vole look pretty stupid.

Altman is under pressure again after former employees and board members publicly criticised him.

A former OpenAI director, Helen Toner, recently accused Altman of lying to the board "multiple" times and "withholding information."

Toner, who participated in November's ousting of the CEO, said Altman had also kept the board in the dark about the company's ownership structure.

Altman has also faced criticism from Jan Lieke, a former executive at OpenAI.

Leike quit OpenAI earlier this month, accusing the company of prioritising "shiny products" over "safety culture and processes."

It is also an issue Microsoft might have with Altman. Insiders say that Vole wants OpenAI to prioritise commercial products.  That said, it was Volish's intervention that returned Altman to his CEO role.
